October 31, 2022 – Washington, D.C. — The Minority Cannabis Business Association (MCBA) in partnership with All-In Pennsylvania, a coordinated campaign for PA Democrats and other industry trade groups, will hold a Cannabis Industry Phone Bank this Thursday, November 3 at 5:30pm ET in support of Senate candidate John Fetterman.
MCBA is calling on all cannabis industry employees, operators and supporters to join us on Thursday as we launch a virtual kick-off for All-In Pennsylvania’s phone bank to help drive voter turnout and expand the Democratic Senate majority.
“Next week’s election will determine a lot for the future of our country, including whether we’ll be closer or farther away from 60 votes for any cannabis legislation in the Senate. John Fetterman understands the damage cannabis prohibition has brought on Black and Latino communities and will fight to right those wrongs,” said Kaliko Castille, MCBA Board President. “I encourage all cannabis industry participants and operators to support pro-cannabis candidates across the country when they go to vote next week.”
All-In Pennsylvania has phone banks operating from 9am to 9pm ET on Saturdays and 12pm to 9pm ET on Sundays. The MCBA kick-off event will inform volunteers on the phone banking protocols to engage voters. Cannabis policies are on the line if we do not support candidates that are willing and eager to expand our industry through laws that will create a robust, diverse and equitable cannabis market.
