This event is designed to address the disparate impact that cannabis arrests have on minority communities. Criminal records can have a debilitating generational impact on the lives and livelihoods of individuals and their families. Formerly incarcerated people often suffer from restricted access to employment, housing, banking, education, professional opportunities, and voting. According to committee member Jill Cohen, Founder of TheCannaBossLady and Cannabis Dispensary License Awardee, "cannabis usage is nearly identical across all racial groups, but arrests for cannabis disproportionately affect communities of color. We need to support the legacy operators who created this industry and their families who were affected by the war on drugs." People with eligible cannabis charges, local business owners, and anyone curious about equity in cannabis will have an opportunity to learn about the social equity & expungement program during the panel discussion with: Edmund DeVeaux, President, New Jersey CannaBusiness Association Michael Hoffman, Cannabis & Expungement Attorney, Dave “Saint” Eliassaint, formerly incarcerated cannabis victim and Social Equity Dispensary applicant Tanmoy Jadhav, Founder, Mojo Botanica, Manufacturing & Cultivation applicant Rob Mejia, Adjunct Professor, Stockton University Topics to be discussed: 1. The process of expunging eligible cannabis-related offenses from your record 2. The importance of social equity in the cannabis industry 3. How to employ people with expunged cannabis charges 4. Properly implementing Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion programs in your business 5. 1-on-1 consultations with Michael Hoffman, Cannabis Attorney that specializes in expungements. Prior to the event, anyone with a cannabis record may apply for expungement by using this link: https://linktr.ee/TheCannaBossLady Guests will enjoy complimentary Mediterranean food from Chutzpah Kitchen and Beer & Wine from Neighbors Wine Shop. After party at 8:30pm at Luna Stella bar with Live Music by Mecca and Full Circle Band. The event is presented by SOMA Action, Elevated by TheCannaBossLady, Mojo Botanica, Neighbor’s Wine Shop, Chutzpah Kitchen, Luna Stella Entrance is free, but a $10 suggested donation at the door is greatly appreciated RSVP: https://linktr.ee/TheCannaBossLady https://www.somaaction.org/blog/united-panther-movement monthly 0.5 2022-08-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e90cc17e02823464cd9517d/d66d536d-2e4d-40d1-8284-9ff19974a58e/United+Panther+Movement-1.jpg SOMA Action News - United Panther Movement - Make it stand out Chairman Zulu Sharod and team unloading fresh food from a delivery truck https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e90cc17e02823464cd9517d/c64c44bb-1a15-4b5e-9c7b-fe06bf930415/United+Panther+Movement-4.jpg SOMA Action News - United Panther Movement - Make it stand out Chairman Zulu Sharod setting up for the United Panther Movement's Free Food Program https://www.somaaction.org/blog/soma-action-seeking-community-organizer monthly 0.5 2022-07-29 https://www.somaaction.org/blog/want-to-canvass-three-scenes-from-a-canvass-outing monthly 0.5 2022-07-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e90cc17e02823464cd9517d/6bf32e8c-d490-48f4-94bd-a3761e25bb2d/canvas.jpeg SOMA Action News - Want to Canvass?

In 2017 The SOMA Action Racial Justice Committee organized the March for Racial Justice. This was an official sister march to the March for Racial Justice held in Washington DC on Sept 30, 2017. The March for Racial Justice is a black and indigenous led multi-community movement organized to resist the U.S. laws, policies, and practices that remain steeped in racism and white supremacy. We gathered a coalition of co-sponsors and speakers including representatives from: SOMA Action Racial Justice Committee, The South Orange-Maplewood Community Coalition on Race, SOMA Justice, The MAPSO Freedom School, Black Lives Matter of Newark, People’s Organization for Progress (POP), Congregation Beth EL, Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR), and North Jersey Pride. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e90cc17e02823464cd9517d/1592421823478-HT5X6CU3OQK4HFVF9RYR/RTJ+flyer.jpg RJ Accomplishments - Restorative and Restorative Justice Program Recently, a major social justice concern has been the inequitable forms of punishment meted out to students of color. Black students tend to receive much higher levels of suspension that white students for the same offence. On a societal level, the same holds true in the criminal justice system. Our Restorative and Transformative Justice program brought together a panel of four experts in this field. After the panel, Rev. Brenda Ehlers, one of the panelists conducted a mock restorative justice session. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e90cc17e02823464cd9517d/1592498799045-KM6HFWGOYX3WGVQ697R5/IMG_1430.jpg RJ Accomplishments - Founding member of SOMA Against Hate Collective SOMA Against Hate is a collective of houses of worship and community groups in South Orange and Maplewood. The collective was formed in the wake of efforts by an anti-Semitic white supremacist hate group to recruit in our communities by posting flyers in prominent places in our two towns. The SOMA Action Racial Justice committee played a major role in the formation of this collective and continues to participate as necessary. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e90cc17e02823464cd9517d/1592849618401-XIGSHVBJC1TTU8IDL6JW/Daryle+flyer%281%29.jpeg RJ Accomplishments - Hate Has Consequences We invited Daryle Lamont Jenkins to participate in an online program to discuss his work fighting racism, fascism and right-wing groups. The timing was very appropriate as George Floyd had recently met a horrible death at the hands of brutal police in Minneapolis. SOMA had recently experienced a racist incident as well which the SOMA Against Hate Collective, among others addressed. Although the presentation was free our 100 Evite tickets were sold out. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e90cc17e02823464cd9517d/1594230021045-JOBFDYOHMYFS4OD4S9TD/Elijah+McClain+Vigil.png RJ Accomplishments - Violin Vigil for Elijah McClain Due to the Corona-19 virus, Independence Day celebrations had been cancelled in 2020. In light of the death of George Floyd and increased awareness of BLM issues, many of us did not feel like celebrating the “Fourth” in the traditional way. When the death of Elijah McClain, the gentle soul who played violin for shelter cats came to light, it seemed like a fitting tribute to honor him on Independence Day. Barbara Velazquez, Co-chair of the SOMA Action Racial Justice Committee along with professional Jazz violinist Zach Brock organized this event in a record three days time. . https://www.somaaction.org/resources daily 0.75 2022-06-16 https://www.somaaction.org/education daily 0.75 2022-06-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e90cc17e02823464cd9517d/1617024758544-EI99BUN1DMLHIUVOKNVF/Screen+Shot+2021-03-29+at+9.32.28+AM.png Education https://www.somaaction.org/democracy daily 0.75 2025-03-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e90cc17e02823464cd9517d/e30a0ca7-3b55-48d2-8f5b-592805e3422c/SOMA+Action+DAC+Logo.jpg Democracy https://www.somaaction.org/reimagining-safety daily 0.75 2025-03-28 https://www.somaaction.org/reproductive-rights daily 0.75 2025-04-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e90cc17e02823464cd9517d/d808d442-89c8-42f0-a36c-faa1734554f9/SOMA-Action_ReproductiveRights.png Reproductive Rights https://www.somaaction.org/home daily 1.0 2026-02-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e90cc17e02823464cd9517d/1586552332784-3V52QZ08BH95FDKAT057/FB_IMG_1551222757123.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e90cc17e02823464cd9517d/1598405878545-APJBLQZWW3A6D87II0EP/Violin%2BVigil%2B7.4.20.Color.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e90cc17e02823464cd9517d/1587781800970-DS7KL1TY1TXGDGEJXO5M/5E9A7255.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e90cc17e02823464cd9517d/1588861213471-T9EFSAI88UBI2IKMGL4Y/5E9A7222.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e90cc17e02823464cd9517d/7c0bd827-994a-45c8-a725-aadb5aeeccd8/SOMAActionDSB-8.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e90cc17e02823464cd9517d/1b7f5bfb-32f4-4c05-a3e5-fc348c029b95/Worrell-Worrell-251018-nokings-soma-340.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e90cc17e02823464cd9517d/3ae4fbc0-a638-495d-b5db-fc20443c65b4/Worrell-Worrell-251018-nokings-soma-608.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e90cc17e02823464cd9517d/974218e1-396c-4f4d-90de-5f22d812dfdd/Worrell-Worrell-251018-nokings-soma-166.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e90cc17e02823464cd9517d/59e78b0a-6583-42da-bc73-14580f806a84/Worrell-Worrell-251018-nokings-soma-444.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e90cc17e02823464cd9517d/1590103545826-SF1HY9H90LQTYYL5Q3RB/IceBanner.jpg Home - Volunteer Opportunities SOMA Action engages local volunteers in efforts including: Election outreach and GOTV Issue forums and educational events Advocating for progressive policies Supporting our neighbors...and much more To learn about and sign up for upcoming actions, please join our email list.
