About this event

  • 5 hours

After decades of tireless effort by generations of cannabis activists, national marijuana legalization is finally on the horizon. As we approach this milestone, we must ensure that legalization is grounded in repairing the harms caused by prohibition and creating an equitable industry. Without proper safeguards, corporations will exploit our hard-fought victories for their own profit, leading to market consolidation and the erosion of equity-focused policies.

This event is an opportunity for education and a call to action for those who believe in putting people over profits -- and to be proactive in implementing strong anti-monopoly protections and support for the smaller players at both state and federal levels before corporate interests take hold. Once established, it will become increasingly difficult to challenge their power.

Our crash course will empower attendees with the knowledge and tools to shape federal legalization in a way that preserves a path for an equitable industry. This event is for everyone who rejects the corporate model of cannabis legalization that concentrates wealth and power in the hands of a few. Together, we will build a movement that creates the future for cannabis legalization rooted in the principles of justice, economic empowerment, and fair opportunity for all.

(If you want to go beyond the crash course, we are offering an intensive leadership training for a select group of leaders to sharpen their skills and strategize for the future. Apply now at parabolacenter.com/leadership)

This event is free and open to the public, but registration is required. Food will not be provided. Agenda and speaker list to follow.
