RI Cannabis Justice Coalition Demands Equity in Legal Weed Industry

The Rhode Island Cannabis Justice Coalition, led by members like Daniel Denver of Reclaim Rhode Island and Chris Hopkins of PVD Flowers, gathered to mark the one-year anniversary of Governor McKee signing the state’s progressive cannabis legalization law on May 25, 2022. The coalition, which includes organizations such as Break the Cycle Cooperative, UFCW Local 328, and Commonplace Cooperative, emphasized the need for continued efforts to ensure the cannabis industry prioritizes racial and economic justice, worker empowerment, and community ownership. The group highlighted the importance of centering communities most impacted by the War on Drugs and called on state officials to uphold the promises of equity and justice outlined in the Rhode Island Cannabis Act. PVD Flowers, a worker-owned cooperative dispensary preparing to apply for a retail license in Providence, was spotlighted as an example of the coalition’s vision for a fair and inclusive cannabis economy. The event underscored the coalition’s ongoing advocacy for social equity, labor solidarity, and restorative justice in the cannabis industry.
