Mr. Chris Williams: Family Man, Businessman, Community Leader, and a Crusader for Justice.
Thank you for visiting my website. In the interest of letting the world know how government can, at times, work against its constituents best interests, when officials and attorneys engage in self-enriching schemes under the color of authority, it is up to us, the citizens of this great nation, to fight back. To use every tool at our disposal to right the wrongs that can be hidden in the vast, interwoven complexities that is our government and the law they rule over us with.
Many of the so-called activists that are fighting for certain rights, or justice, do not see themselves as activists. I certainly did not. But when confronted with the might they possess and lord over us with, it is our duty, if possible, to call out and expose those who have lost their moral compass to atone for their actions. This website is dedicated to one such reluctant activist and the hurdles he faced when trying to participate in California’s adult-use cannabis industry. An industry that purports to reward people of color and legitimate businesspeople, but in reality, have played a game of keep away. A game for them but certainly not for me or any others who are faced with that assault. I am that activist.
Since the passage of Prop 64 in 2016 and it’s subsequent enaction in 2018 of SB 94, I have spent my life energy and fortune trying to play by their rules. To abide by and provide all the required documents whereby I would ultimately hope to gain entrance into the highly regulated and exclusionary world of licensed cannabis. A world in which they maintain complete control.
Our communities are diverse, and they need diversity in those cannabis businesses where the applicants are qualified and reflect the fabric of the local community. I am that applicant. My story is one of denial, lies, delays, unscrupulous lawyers, racism, litigation, and attacks, both verbal and physical, against me in their efforts to keep me from participating in licensed cannabis.
If you are someone who has experienced any of these types of activities, I would like to hear from you. Silence and darkness are where these activities occur. Light is what exposes their misdeeds for all to see. We, my friends, are that light. I welcome you to join me in that fight for justice!
