The sponsors of this event - Cures Not Wars, Empire State NORML, CelebStoner.com and LEAP - call for the immediate end of all marijuana arrests in New York.
The 40th Annual Cannabis Peace March & Rally is dedicated to Cures Not Wars founder Dana Beal, who is currently incarcerated in Wisconsin on marijuana-possession charges, and Yippie activist Ben Masel, who passed away from cancer on Apr. 30, 2011.
