We launched my new bookOne Nation Under the Influence with two amazing events, one in DC and one at our New York offices. And I want to note that thanks to people like you, it’s already hit #1 in two categories on Amazon!
The turnout for both events was incredible: I was grateful and proud to have energized and activated so many of you. The questions you asked were penetrating and really helped me see new perspectives on the work—and the deep sense of community made it all that much more powerful. We captured the New York event on video; you can watch it here.
We also launched ourNew York Impact Report. The report documents how New York’s legalization of marijuana and subsequent regulatory framework are failing the very people they are supposed to help (including marginalized communites). The launch generated major media coverage, including a Sunday feature in the New York Post: great news when it comes to awareness of the danger marijuana poses to public health, especially for young people. We also announced our New York ad campaign, “What Is Marijuana?”, directly informed by our findings from the report.Watch the New York Impact Report launch here.
All this made last week definitely one for the books. We couldn’t have done this without you. Thank you for your ongoing support. We will continue to value it as we move toward new frontiers.
