Details

Massachusetts Recreational Consumer Council (MRCC) passed the first reparations fund for slavery using cannabis tax revenue in Massachusetts, the first racial equity fund from War on Drugs using cannabis tax revenue in Massachusetts, and the racial equity commission in 2021.

Stand in solidarity with us as we continue to push town by town for racial justice for slavery and the racially motivated War on Drugs. Kicking off in February we will meet every Tuesday with community members across the state and work to hold our local government accountable to stand in solidarity for racial justice.

We meet for two hours every other week, where we cover the Study Group first then the Action Circle. On the weeks in between, we meet for one hour, covering only the Action Circle. (On both weeks, we might run long, but it's understandable if you need to leave.)

This is an Action Circle week (meaning one hour); next week will include the Study Group (two-hour session).

Background:
Established in 2017, Massachusetts Recreational Consumer Council is a political organization that advocates and mobilizes on behalf of communities disproportionately impacted by the racially motivated War on Drugs. Black & Brown, women, and queer led - our workers move in solidarity for racial, healing, and transformative justice through an intersectional framework.

To learn how to move in solidarity for racial, healing & transformative justice join the community at their Patreon link.
