Press – PSI 2020 - The Official PSI 2020 Campaign Website (news release):
March 11, 2019 - "The Oregon Psilocybin Society and the PSI 2020 ballot initiative campaign raised $79,370 in support of legalizing access to psilocybin assisted therapy in Oregon. The fundraising effort came in association with a benefit gala held on March 3rd at the Portland Art Museum. The sold-out event brought together leading scientists, grassroots policy reformers, and local leaders of an evolving coalition.
"Said Tom Eckert, who, with his wife Sheri, serves as Chief Petitioner of the ballot initiative: 'I think the Benefit was a significant step for this campaign, not just financially but also because it started a conversation between different aspects of the movement. We are excited to see how this unfolds.'
"The fundraising effort came after the release of polling numbers that showed a slim majority of Oregonians favoring the proposed legislation.
"The Benefit was keynoted by Robin Carhart-Harris, who is the Head of Psychedelic Research at the Imperial College of London, and Mark Haden, who is the Executive Director of Canada’s Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS).
"Said Chief Petitioner Sheri Eckert, 'It was definitely a boost to have these great voices – who are now friends of ours and friends of the campaign – speak at a fundraising event for psychedelic policy reform in our home state. Oregon has become ground zero for what could be a worldwide psychedelic policy reform movement.'"
