New weed dispensary and bakery in Evanston to direct tax revenue to reparations fund

OKAY Cannabis is a social equity dispensary that is minority owned. Pawar is co-owner and CEO of both businesses, and said they purposefully chose to open in Evanston. "We wanted to open in a community that was going actually repair the harms of the racist war on drugs, to find ways to repair harms of slavery and institutional racism," he said.
