Accepting social equity is the beginning of Virginia acknowledging the residual impact of the slave trade, Jim Crow, redlining, voter suppression, lynching, underfunded school systems, cannabis convictions, illegal searches and economic apartheid. The commonwealth of Virginia can lead the new south by being the first mover in the region to acknowledge the impact of predatory policing in the black community.

We’re inviting families and individuals to come to LOOK, LISTEN and LEARN about key points of interests for black Virginians over the next 18 months.

VMCC’s strategies, resources and program will focus on:

Racial disparities in marijuana arrests

While we share concerns for all minorities, our primary focus in this project is the disproportionality experienced by the black community in Virginia. We are working to prevent the same misfortune the state of California experienced, where white-owned, well-funded companies rode the legalization wave at the expense of African Americans.
