Question 4 language directly addressed this issue, with first-of-its-king language drafted specifically to provide opportunity for equitable ownership and participation by those victims in this industry. “We are not only a community of labels and stereotypes, we are a community that is going to change the world.” Ms. Crabb-Burnham added. The 420 independence Gala takes place on Thursday, April 20 at the Natick Elk’s Lodge, 95 Speen Street in Natick, from 6:00 – 10:00 PM. Public and media are invited to attend.
