Cannabis Reform 2020:

America’s Growing Pains & Possibilities

JULY 13, 1PM EST / 10AM PST

EVENT SPONSORS

Advance 360 Cannabis Insider Live Online hosted by NJ Cannabis Insider editor Justin Zaremba, is a highly focused, information-driven talk designed to engage audiences about the most pressing concerns and challenges the national cannabis space faces, including state and federal legalization efforts, social justice reforms, navigating the COVID-19 crisis and much more.

In the wake of collective national outrage over police brutality and systemic racism, social justice and economic empowerment have risen to the forefront of the cannabis conversation. Luminaries in the cannabis and advocacy space will discuss how to transform this outrage into action, empowerment for a more diverse and inclusive, multi-billion dollar cannabis space.

Representative of Massachusetts, chair of the influential House Committee on Rules

Jim McGovern was elected to Congress in 1996 and is widely recognized as a tireless crusader for progress, and an unrivaled supporter for social justice and human rights around the world.

As chairman, McGovern has ended the longstanding practice of blocking amendments examining our nation’s marijuana policies from being debated on the House Floor.
