Seattle native, Dominic Holden has worked on marijuana policy reform projects
since 1994. He is a past director of the Seattle
Hempfest, the nation's largest marijuana policy reform rally. In 2000, he
founded the Washington State Affiliate
of NORML and currently serves as their director.
Also in 2000, Holden co-founded and chaired the steering committee for the Sensible
Seattle Coalition which sponsored Initiative 75. The ballot measure, passed
in September 2003, made marijuana possession for adult personal use Seattle's
lowest law enforcement priority.
Holden is appointed
to the Marijuana Policy
Review Panel created by I-75, which monitors the implementation of the initiative
and tracks Seattle's marijuana arrests and prosecutions. Holden is also a member
of the King
County Bar Association's Drug Policy Project Legal Frameworks Committee
and the King County Drug Policy Coordinating Group.
Holden volunteers with other groups such as Seattle DanceSafe, Seattle's Gay
City Health Project, The November Coalition, WashPIRG and for initiatives, including
Washington's successful 1998 medical marijuana ballot measure, I-692.
