We are grateful to @StrainStars_ for their commitment to our member's children. "As a non-profit that works with justice-impacted mothers we know that incarceration impacts the whole family,” said Serena Martin, executive director of New Hour for Women & Children LI. “Often impacted children do not have the means to pursue higher education. This scholarship will reduce the stigma of parental incarceration, giving students the needed opportunity to thrive beyond their parent's incarceration, for which they should never be punished." farmingdale.edu/news/news-ro…

Doulas deserve a living wage. We can not continue to say we stand for Black maternal health rights and justice if we do not fund and support the people serving Black families. Let's push for the $1930 Medicaid reimbursement rate NOW. #PayEquity4Doulas | tinyurl.com/NYdoulas

“I’m grateful to open a business with my wife and son at my side and build generational wealth, right here in New York.” -Roland Conner, New York’s first justice-involved dispensary owner
In less than a year, we are witnessing the vision of an equitable cannabis market come to life. SMACKED may be the 1st justice-involved owned dispensary, but it will not be the last. OCM remains committed to creating space for the culture.
