Even if you call yourself a system catalyst or aspire to be one, the political system can feel out of reach. But, if you manage to change policies, you can improve the lives of people by the thousands or even millions.
For Graham Boyd, that meant legalizing cannabis to support people of color who are disproportionately affected by the war on drugs. His organization, New Approach PAC, has been leading nearly every successful state cannabis reform ballot initiative since 2012.
In today’s episode, we’ll learn how having a political strategy and partnering with the right people can be the key to far reaching systems change.
Featuring Graham Boyd, Co-Founder and Executive Director of PSFC, and Founding Director of New Approach Advocacy Fund and Toi Hutchinson, President and CEO, Marijuana Policy Project.
