By NEBRASKANS FOR MEDICAL MARIJUANA
In just two weeks, Nebraskans for Medical Marijuana (NMM) has brought in over 40,000 signatures, and qualified more than 15 counties. The campaign has recruited over 150 paid volunteer circulators who are traveling the state to help collect, and a team of over 600 volunteers have also ramped up their efforts. In addition to the overall signature requirement of 87,000 valid signatures on each of the two petitions, ballot initiatives must also qualify at least 38 of the 93 Nebraska counties. Currently the campaign has a combined total of 80,000 signatures across their two petitions.
“Over the last two weeks, Nebraskans have made it clear that they absolutely support this issue. They want to sign our petition to put medical cannabis on the ballot, and they have stepped up to help us do just that,” said State Senator Anna Wishart.
Crista Eggers, mom to 7-year-old Colton, and Statewide Campaign Coordinator said, “We need Nebraska to continue to rise up as they have these past two weeks. We cannot stop and we can’t slow down. Go sign the petitions, apply to be a volunteer or paid circulator, and donate if you are able. This can be done.”
Nebraskans can find over 100 locations to sign the petitions in nearly every community at www.nmm2022.org/sign. Individuals 18 years or older can volunteer to help collect signatures at nmm2022.org/volunteer, or apply to be a paid circulator at nmm2022.org/paid.
