Podcast: Voices of High Mi Madre

High Mi Madre

In Episode 35Ā of the CounterVortex podcast, Bill Weinberg interviews Emily Ramos, Pilar DeJesus and Kara Bhatti,Ā members of the worker-owned marijuana consumer cooperative High Mi Madre, on their lobbying and activist efforts in support of theĀ Marijuana Regulation and Taxation Act, still pending in the final countdown to the close of the current New York State legislative session.Ā They especially emphasize the demand for “Day One Equity” with cannabis legalization in the Empire Stateā€”measures for reparative justice and reinvestment in the communities that had for generations been criminalized and oppressed by cannabis prohibition.
