Description

Learn about "social equity" in Cannabis laws, and how you can help shape the laws in New York to ensure equitable access to the industry. Join the Harlem Business Alliance and Kika Keith, CEO of Gorilla Rx Dispensary and Marie Montmarquet Co-founder of MD Numbers, at a free to the public event to launch The Working Group's Cannabis Social Equity Policy Handbook that will be available to activists and organizers at the event. The Cannabis Social Equity Policy Handbook is a first-of-its-kind document that directly addresses known barriers to entry and barriers to operations by current and in-process Social Equity applicants across the country. Informed by the experiences of Kika Keith, CEO of Gorilla Rx Dispensary -- the first Black-Woman Owned Dispensary in Los Angeles and Marie Montmarquet, Co-founder of MD Numbers and one of the most experienced vertical operators in the state of California, the handbook provides actionable baseline guides for the creation of Social Equity programs and policy frameworks and gives step-by-step instructions for any individual to effectively advocate for a comprehensive Social Equity program in their local and state governments. **Following NY COVID Protocols
