Our clients, Fernando and Suzanne, were among the first to receive a CAURD license from over 900 applicants. Their amazing story is featured .
Fernando, a Latino, was amongst the mostly Black and Latino New Yorkers that were targeted by the bad ma*****na laws. “Just a year before recreational ma*****na was legalized New Yorkers of color, mostly Latinos and Black New Yorkers, accounted for 94% of pot-related arrests and summonses in the city in 2020.” Read more of their story at link in our story and below.
