Project: 1200 is a grassroots movement that uses social activism, creativity, and policy to take a stand against Big Tobacco - an industry that kills 1,200 people every day in the United States and 5 million people worldwide every year.
We will educate, advocate, and fight until Big Tobacco is brought to its knees.

its been a while!

yo yo yo!

sorry its been a while since i have posted on this site! we have been putting stuff up on facebook quite often (its easier to access and work with than this... lazy me...)

a few updates:

the legislative session in Utah is OVER! though they didnt vote on the tobacco tax increase, we saved our $4MIL due to the "many, many, many, may, many" emails we, and others sent! so that was a success! also, they passed the internet tobacco sales prohibition bill. thanks to everyone that was willing to write an email or call or rally (or participate in any way at all!). it has been proven that an email can make a difference, so thank you!

success, success, and more success!

 a few of the Reps that i have talked to said that they will have a special legislative session in a couple months that the tobacco tax increase will be introduced and voted on. so the fight isnt over! bring it on Big Tobacco!

and remember that this week is Kick Butts Day (march 25th). its going to be killer! so make sure to make an appearance. it will be at the salt lake public library (and across the nation!). for more details, check out:
