• Movimento Cannabico Mexicano, a civil society organization advocating for policies related to personal cannabis use, has called for a march in multiple cities nationwide, including in Mexico City, on May 4. Cultural events are slated to take place at the destination location.
• The march is being organized to commemorate World Marijuana Liberation Day.
• The details of the marches, held in coordination with local marijuana advocation civil society groups, are as follows:

1. Based on previous marches held by civil society organizations associated with marijuana activism, including one on April 20 in Mexico City, as well as the Global Marijuana March on May 7, 2023, the upcoming demonstrations will potentially draw varying turnouts in the mid-dozens to high hundreds. Mexico City will likely witness the highest turnout between the mid-to-high hundreds.  
2. Given precedent, the demonstrations are liable to transpire peacefully. Despite this, bolstered security forces are expected along the march routes, particularly on Avenida Reforma in Mexico City, and in the vicinity of protest locations to monitor proceedings and divert traffic. 
3. While small-to-medium scale disruptions to traffic can be anticipated in a majority of the cities with slated marches, significant disruptions to vehicular and pedestrian traffic remain likely along Avenida Reforma in Mexico City, considering the expected turnouts and possible ad-hoc road closures. 

Those operating or residing in the aforementioned cities in Mexico on May 4 are advised to allot for disruptions to travel owing to the slated marches during the slated timings.
