The Learning Action Buffet’s mission is to support youth in creating a sustainable and healthy community through the arts, communication and action. The LAB accomplishes this by integrating meaningful hands-on learning with real-world problem-solving. The LAB has initiated the Creating Equity in Education project to support the Southern New Mexico Equity Forum. As stated in the newly released Education Context Report from the NMSU Center for Community Analysis In Doña Ana County, Hispanic or Latino persons are twice as likely as white non-Hispanics to lack access to the internet or a computer.
This is just one example of many inequities present in our school system today. Infusing equity into the fabric of the New Mexico educational system will take a concerted effort among all stakeholders, as well as greater awareness about what equity in education looks like and how to achieve it.
Under the Governor s proposal, a new Office of Cannabis Management would be created to oversee the new adult-use program, as well as the State s existing medical and cannabinoid hemp programs. Additionally, an equitable structure for the adult-use market will be created by offering licensing opportunities and assistance to entrepreneurs in communities of color who have been disproportionately impacted by the war on drugs.
The Lt. Governor reiterated their commitment to allowing communities of color to participate in the profit-sharing from the legalization of Cannabis in the State. The decision is based on the deficit that New York State is facing due to COVID-19. The legal sale of weed in NYS will generate an estimated $300 million in tax revenue, according to the Governor s website.
