TAKE ACTION
We deserve fair wages, financial security and safety—on the job and off. Thousands of cannabis and hemp workers have made phone calls to our elected leaders to make sure there is #AllPowerToTheWorker. Join us to make sure that no worker is left behind. Sign up to get involved!
I believe that hemp and cannabis workers deserve care and respect.
