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.
