When we look at the demographics of the entire cannabis industry – from retail store owners to producer and processor licenses, the data shows us that majority of ownership is NOT by BIPOC communities even though the #WarOnDrugs disproportionally targeted BIPOC communities
Javier Hernandez CEO of #Humbleroot is a member of @TheCityofSac CORE program which helps folks facing barriers to starting cannabis businesses due to historical disparate enforcement of cannabis crimes. This is a great example of what is possible for #CannabisEquity in Seattle!
Today, @SeattleCouncil will be hearing from UFCW 3000 members in support of Cannabis Equity legislation. We're live-tweeting as things get underway with the Finance & Housing committee. Follow along to hear from workers in the cannabis industry! @CannabisUnionWA @UFCW_CWR
Every battle the labor movement has ever won seemed impossible at the time until it was done.
“We want to thank Jeff Bezos for going up to space, because while he was up there, we were organizing a union,” a jubilant Chris Smalls said in remarks outside the NLRB offices in Brooklyn: thecity.nyc/2022/4/1/23006…
BREAKING: The U.S. House of Representatives has once again passed the #MOREAct, a comprehensive federal cannabis legalization bill!
Cannabis is a $185 million industry in Seattle and we cannot ignore folks who have been barred from its prosperity as a result of the racist legacy of the War on Drugs. #CannabisWorkersRising #UnionCannabis @CannabisUnionWA @UFCW_CWR
Cortlin, a leader at the first unionized Starbucks store, on why he joined the movement…
SEATTLE CUSTOMERS: Want to show support? Shop at our filed locations and be #UnionStrong! Whether it's mobile orders with pro union names or vocal solidarity, we love it all! Currently, three stores in Seattle have filed for union elections. Let's talk about them!
We need reform, redistribution, and restoration. Cannabis workers have been on the frontline and should have access to greater training, upward mobility, and job protections. Cities around the country have worked on this issue and we can learn a lot from them!
However, that wealth and access has not been equitable, for years Black and Brown communities were ravaged by the war on drugs - a major driver of mass incarceration. The effects of that policy is still felt today in employment, housing, education, and public benefits
This industry went from illegal to essential in just a few years. In 2012 voters approved I-502 legalizing small possessions of marijuana. Since then the industry in Seattle has expanded, in fact in 2021 just over 60 cannabis stores sold over $185 million in cannabis products.

Do you want to learn how Amazon workers achieved a historic union win? And consider how you could organize your own workplace? On Monday, April 11 at 8pm ET, we're hosting a conversation with @amazonlabor & @jacobin. Tune in! RSVP: ewoc.online/amazon
Congratulations to @MITGradUnion who won their NLRB election 1785 to 912 (with 178 challenged and 8 void ballots)!
"We are making sure this country belongs to workers and workers alone," Biden says. "And by the way... Amazon, here we come."
A Starbucks barista would need to work 534,374 hours to make what their union-busting lawyer was paid for getting fired.
NEW: Starbucks has fired its top lawyer, Rachel Gonzalez. The company’s high-paid legal team has lost repeatedly in efforts to stop the rapidly growing union drive. Gonzalez will receive an $8 million golden parachute from Starbucks. news.bloomberglaw.com/business-and-p…
So many people are going to look back on two years of a pandemic as “the time I organized a union” or “the time I bargained our first contract.” I have a lot of admiration for folks who embrace the struggle in difficult times to make things better for other people.
Eleanor Roosevelt knew what the goals of RTW legislation. The goals havent changed.
They called us essential, and now we are demanding to be treated as such! #wearetheunion #Solidarity #UnionStrong #UnionYes
In case anyone thinks Amazon workers don't need a union...
@SeattleCouncil @CannabisUnionWA @UFCW_CWR That's it for public comment for today! As Cannabis Equity legislation starts making its way through the Seattle City Council, please stay tuned to learn how you can get involved. And if you don't already, go ahead and give @CannabisUnionWA a follow! #CannabisWorkersRising
@SeattleCouncil @CannabisUnionWA @UFCW_CWR James, cont'd.: "Providing people in the community with licenses is essential. We need to make this industry inclusive if it is going to have a future. I think we need to decrease the barrier to entry and have a Cannabis Equity commission to facilitate licensing."
@SeattleCouncil @CannabisUnionWA @UFCW_CWR James, cont'd.: "I want people to have the economic freedom to be involved, to be able to own in this industry and succeed. A lot of people from historically oppressed communities are the pioneers of this industry -- but are still locked out of the industry."
@SeattleCouncil @CannabisUnionWA @UFCW_CWR James, cannabis worker at Mr. Greens in Lake Forest Park, wanted to share his experiences, even though he couldn't testify during public comment today. "I have been working in cannabis for 5 years. I am extremely passionate about Cannabis, but I want the industry to be fair!"
@SeattleCouncil @CannabisUnionWA @UFCW_CWR "The Cannabis Equity commission will allocate funds in an equitable way. The Cannabis Equity policy will open doors within this inaccessible industry to people of color...It's time that Seattle rights the wrongs of the War on Drugs and protects Cannabis workers."
@SeattleCouncil @CannabisUnionWA @UFCW_CWR Zion, cont'd.: "It is important to include an equity fund in the Cannabis Equity Policy to help undo the effects of the War on Drugs within communities of color. Additionally, the Cannabis Equity commission will include workers actually in the cannabis industry."
@SeattleCouncil @CannabisUnionWA @UFCW_CWR Next up: Zion Grae-El, a Budtender at Have A Heart Belltown in Seattle, testifying in support of the Cannabis Equity Policy. "As a budtender, my daily responsibilities consist of high-volume cash handling and customer service, often de-escalating tense situations."
@SeattleCouncil @CannabisUnionWA @UFCW_CWR First up is Kristen Wells, a budtender at Ponder in Seattle! "The Cannabis Equity policy's focus on training and workforce development will open gateways for workers to access different fields within the cannabis industry and develops a ladder for workers to move up the chain."
@SeattleCouncil @CannabisUnionWA @UFCW_CWR Kristen, cont'd.: "Training will also improve safety standards...I believe all workers should have to go through de-escalation training. I hope that the Council can lead in making the cannabis industry equitable. Please pass the Cannabis Equity Policy!"
@SeattleCouncil @CannabisUnionWA @UFCW_CWR "Most of all, cannabis workers have no representation in these conversations when we are the ones on the frontlines being directly affected. Seattle has been a leader in many policy areas. I hope that the Council can lead in making the cannabis industry equitable!"
When we look at the demographics of the entire cannabis industry – from retail store owners to producer and processor licenses, the data shows us that majority of ownership is NOT by BIPOC communities even though the #WarOnDrugs disproportionally targeted BIPOC communities
