For decades, activists have marched down State Street to tell policy makers that we want safe, affordable, legal access to THC. This year, we’ll be at James Madison Park marching down N Hamilton St to the Capitol steps. Attendees can expect this grassy park to be filled with educational sessions, product sampling, live musical performances, and a marketplace of hemp-related products.

GRAB SOME MERCH

For 54 years, The Great Midwest Mar*juana Harvest Protest has been marching to the capitol to demand change, and for 54 years the voices of Wisconsin residents have been ignored. We, for one, are over it.

If you’re ready for change, we’re ready for you.
