Local Cannabis Organizations Unite to Educate, Support and Provide Access to Cannabis-Related Services and Opportunities for BIPOC Communities
Today Columbia Care Virginia announced it is partnering with three organizations – BIPOCANN, the Virginia Minority Cannabis Coalition and Nolef Turns – to offer social equity-driven resources for the developing cannabis community in Virginia. This group is dedicated to ensuring that Virginia’s BIPOC community has viable, competitive opportunities in the market, and supports three elements critical to effective social equity initiatives — justice reform, entrepreneurship and mentorship, and equitable representation.
Nolef Turns’ goals are to center people in the cannabis conversation. Social equity is about more than profit; it’s about addressing the past harms of the failed war on drugs. We are thankful for this partnership to push education about your rights as it pertains to cannabis and to continue to advocate for justice reform for people impacted by prohibition and mass incarceration.
Do you have charges on your record that you were found not guilty of or have been acquitted of? Are you interested in exploring the option of expungement?
Call Nolef Turns Inc. during business hours, Monday - Friday, 10am - 5pm at 804-918-6470. Please leave only 1 message if no one answers. We are all working virtually and someone will return your call at our earliest convenience.
Note: This is not for individuals who have been convicted, pled guilty or were found guilty, or agreed to alternative sentencing (diversion). More info to come for those groups at a later date.
