Hello Troublemakers,
On May 10, 2023, we submitted our language for Title and Summary and received it yesterday, Friday, July 14th, 2023 at 5:31 p.m. meaning we have until January 10th, 2024 to submit at least 546,651 valid signatures.
The last two times we needed to submit 623,212 valid signatures but because of all the madness over the Gavin Newsom recall for once political apathy worked in our favor as roughly 2 million fewer voters turned out for the gubernatorial election saving us 76,561 valid signatures.
Now that the plague is over we can take advantage of all the summer festivals and fully activate our college teams for tabling days when they are back in session in late August and September.
However, the political climate is going to be even more insane this time around as we are facing an utterly surreal rematch of Biden vs Trump and the white noise from that is going to be epic as both parties continue to polarize the country.
All we have to do is stay focused, collect the signatures, and get it on the ballot.
If we do that we will win the majority of votes in the November 2024 election and it will become law.
After a long night of playing Tetris to fit the language on the initiative sheets we have the following two pdf versions:
-8.5x11 Single Spot Sheet
-11x17 Eleven Spot Sheet
You can download them and other helpful documents from our google drive folder: Volunteer Packet
The first signature you should get is your own so download, print, sign, and mail it in so we can start verifying them.
Also, I will personally be in Los Angeles, San Diego, San Jose, and Santa Rosa for at least one week each for the first two months as we get all the counties dialed in.
We are also looking for Volunteers to host more private potluck dinners to help grow their local communities so if you have a place that might work just let us know.
For those of you looking to become County Directors you will need to take a reading comprehension test of the California Psilocybin Initiative 2024 so start studying now.
Finally don’t forget to Sign-Up for our Discord to communicate with the other volunteers out there.
Good luck!
Peace,
-Ryan Munevar - Campaign Director/Los Angeles Team Director
