Racial Disparities in California’s Marijuana Arrests
View this post on Instagram
The California Urban Partnership (CUP), in association with The Institute for MORE, is proud to release this preview of WHEN THE SMOKE CLEARS, a mini-documentary film series that covers the impacts of marijuana criminalization and racialized law enforcement in communities of color. This film highlights the findings of a Public Health Advocates, UC Davis Center for Regional Change and UCLA study to map marijuana arrests in the state. The video series is linked to the study dissemination strategy, and will feature the voices of Drug War impacted children, families and ex-offenders, the perspectives of elected and grassroots community leaders, and powerful mapping study illustrations and references. By humanizing the mapping data with testimonies of real drug war victims (the formerly incarcerated and their families), we hope to compel a broad cross-section of policymakers, opinion leaders, key stakeholders and the public to become engaged in advancing a framework for racial and health equity in marijuana policy at the local and state levels in California.
