\"\"<\/a>Thank you for your interest in being part of MardiGrass 2021. We\u2019re always keen to hear from friendly and positive people who want to assist cannabis law reform. MardiGrass wishes to extend a welcome and many thanks for those who donate their time during this event. Without you it could not happen! We appreciate your interest in helping us create an amazing MardiGrass experience for all participants over the weekend.<\/p>\n

This year MardiGrass falls from Saturday 1st May to Sunday 2nd of May, but (as always) it really kicks off many weeks earlier. We particularly need help with site preparation. So if you have those skills, we would love to hear from you NOW! The important thing is that we need volunteers BEFORE the event more than we need them DURING.<\/p>\n

We will be accepting volunteers to set up camp and start preparing for the protest from Monday 19th<\/sup> April.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

If you want to be part of the preparations, there are three methods to make contact:<\/p>\n

Apply: MardiGrass Volunteer Registration form<\/a><\/strong> or\u00a0[PDF<\/a>] [RTF<\/a>]<\/strong><\/p>\n

Email<\/strong>: mardigrass.vols@gmail.com<\/a><\/h4>\n

In person<\/strong>: Hemp Bar or Embassy shop, 51 Cullen Street, Nimbin<\/h4>\n

No new volunteers will be accepted after 30 April.<\/strong> Speaking reasonable English is necessary, and a willingness to work. We don\u2019t want people who sit around smoking all day!<\/p>\n
