Social Justice Bermuda (SJB) is a collective of Bermudians who are inspired by the global Black Lives Matter Movement and the way that communities around the world are standing together to tackle and dismantle oppressive systems of injustice and racism. A SJB task force was formed to address cannabis reform and to advocate for a sensible and regulated cannabis market that is based on restorative justice and empowers those who have been oppressed by historical cannabis prohibition laws. The SJB cannabis task force is hosting a virtual “Conversation on Cannabis Legislation” that will focus on Medicinal Cannabis on Sunday September 27 at 8pm via the Social Justice Bermuda Facebook live feed.
