Western MA Humanists: Race, Politics, and Cannabis

This month, Atty. Aaron J Romano will present “Race Politics and Cannabis,” a presentation that reveals the racially discriminatory origins of cannabis prohibition nationally and within the State of Connecticut.

A criminal defense attorney from Bloomfield, Aaron J. Romano is also legal counsel for CT NORML (the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws). Aaron is a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania School of Law, where he was awarded the University of Pennsylvania Award for Public Service and was a recipient of the Equal Justice Foundation Fellowship. He has been practicing law for twenty years.

This presentation is based on the research he performed for a case currently in litigation in Connecticut.

We generally take a few minutes at the beginning of each monthly meeting to plan upcoming MA.ASH community building efforts and events. The presentations and general discussions afterwards give members a chance to discuss relevant topics, current events, and explore new ideas.
 

A Meetup discussion group for local humanists, agnostics, and atheists. Low key and friendly - all are welcome.
