About the uca
Board of Directors
The UCA Board consists of Social Equity Advocates and individuals who have resided in Drug War impacted communities. Because the organization was founded by social equity members for social equity members we are intentional about promoting individuals to executive leadership who come from our priority populations.
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.
