Richard Wallace is the founding executive director of Equity and Transformation (EAT), which works to shape policies at the local and national levels that affect people in the informal economy. In 2019 EAT played a vital role in the legalization of recreational cannabis in Illinois. That policy became the first recreational cannabis policy to incorporate reparations for the war on drugs.
