On May 31st we started an official petition to get a referendum on the November ballot to legalize marijuana in the City of Milwaukee! To qualify for the November ballot we need to collect at least 27,957 *valid* signatures in 60 days. To make this work, we’re going to need your help!

For more information and continued updates, please see the Milwaukee Marijuana Legalization Petition page.

WHO CAN SIGN/WHAT’S A VALID SIGNATURE?

For a signature to be valid the signer (Make sure the signer meets these criteria *before* signing, please):

• Must be at least 18 years of age
• Must live in the City of Milwaukee (no suburbs)
• Must have signed within 60 days prior to the submission of the petition (between May 31th and July 29th)
• Must *not* be currently serving a felony sentence (jail/prison/probation/parole); felons who are *no longer* on probation/parole *can* sign
• Must not have already signed (Duplicate signatures are thrown out, but the original still counts. So all signing multiple times hurts is our estimate of how many signatures we have)

PLACES TO SIGN PETITIONS

The following stores have petitions available for signing:

• Closet Classics (1000 E North Ave Milwaukee, WI 53212)
• Atomic Glass (1813 E Locust St Milwaukee, WI 53211)

More stores to be added soon!

WHO CAN COLLECT SIGNATURES?

To collect signatures (“circulate the petition” in legal terms) the circulator:

• Must be at least 18 years of age
• Must be a US citizen
• Must *not* be currently serving a felony sentence (jail/prison/probation/parole); felons who are *no longer* on probation/parole *can* collect signatures.

Basically, the rules are the same for circulating petitions and signing them, except that signers need to live in the City of Milwaukee and circulators/collectors can be any US citizen.
