Welcome to the
United Core Alliance
Our Mission
The United CORE Alliance (UCA) is a 501c3 organization created by social equity advocates. We serve disadvantaged communities adversely impacted by the war on drugs. The UCA creates opportunities for economic mobility through community advocacy, community development, workforce training and expungement services.
Our Purpose
The UCA’s purpose is to eliminate the pervasive barriers erected by the war on drugs that prevent underinvested communities from realizing economic mobility. We aim to overcome policies precipitated by historical political and social sanctions that unjustly targeted communities of color. Our organization engages populations and communities most impacted by the War on Drugs to create economic opportunities in emerging cannabis markets, facilitates educational job training, legal support, and provides relevant tools to the constituents to which we serve.
Our Focus Area
The UCA’s focus areas are 1) Increasing diversity in ownership and workforce within the cannabis industry; 2) Restoring the lives of systems impacted individuals from the war on drugs through legal support services; 3) Developing and supporting the small and equity business environment through collaboration and aggregation of resources; and 4) Assist cities with the creation of policies and procedures that promote equity business ownership for minority entrepreneurs.
The UCA assists local government with conducting Cannabis Equity Assessments and proposals for Cannabis Social Equity programs through SB 2194 (Bradford) deemed the California Cannabis Equity Act of 2018. Additionally with the expertise of policy professionals and legal practitioners the UCA conducts monthly expungement clinics in Sacramento to repair the pejorative socioeconomic footprint of the War on Drugs.
