VIP Salon after Marijuana Legalization Debate

We were proud to present “PRO/CON @ The Pier – The Return of Civil Discourse,” a nonpartisan discussion series at the Santa Monica Pier with independent moderators guiding policy experts through civil debates designed to better inform public discourse on ballot measures and hot issues before Election Day 2016. At our finale debate 7-time Emmy nominated actor and writer, Alan Thicke, moderated a debate on marijuana legalization between Karen O’Keefe (Director of State Policies for Marijuana Policy Project) and Luis Alvarado (Spokesperson for No on 64 Campaign). Immediately after the public debate we held a private reception for our donors, debaters, and other VIPs in the ProCon.org universe. Some photos from that wonderful reception appear below. Photography provided by Steven Jay Photo. Thank you to everyone who participated.
