As Nina Simone shares what freedom meant for her we want to know what does freedom mean for our American Freedmen tribe, Black Americans that are descendants of chattel slavery in the US?

If only @MA_Cannabis @nickcollinsma @CamargoNurys prioritized local growers in Massachusetts we could get there. They’re holding back tax revenue for the state 💯
🗣️consumers want to support local craft cannabis. You can’t change consumer behavior. SUPPORT LOCAL &collect taxes

[Tickle_The_Twine @CBDsavesLives]

@MACONSUMERS @rock_pyle @MA_Cannabis @Dan_Adams86 @TheYoungJurks @Mass_Cannabis Yes support local growers and build from within the state. No need to put people out of business for benefit of a wealthy corporation or equivalent

[Massachusetts Recreational Consumer Council @MACONSUMERS]

Last Saturday we had an amazing turnout and learnt so much about our history and the importance of language when advocating for reparations for American Freedmen. Join us this Saturday at noon with @ne_ados https://t.co/76qztMVxqb
