We have greatly enjoyed serving our members and have taken pride in representing you in the legal battle to sustain your safe access in Redding.
On May 6, the Supreme Court ruled on the Riverside v. Inland Empire case that it is legal for cities to ban storefront collectives. Proposition 215 or SB 420 do not prevent the cities from doing so.
While Nature’s Nexus has been actively fighting to keep safe and transparent access available in Redding for the past 18 months, this ruling leaves us in the unfortunate position of negotiating a settlement with the City of Redding that will include eventual closure of Nature’s Nexus.
You have all enriched our lives and we couldn't have forged forward this long without your support, gratitude and your genuine need for this amazing alternative medicine. You have been the fuel behind our fire and we weep for the resource that Redding will be losing.
We do not currently have any settlement specifics. We will update you all as soon as we know official dates and terms.
Looking towards the future of Nature’s Nexus and in the hopes to reopen after changes in the City of Redding, we are hoping to create a presence in another more welcoming community. Since we have operated within the guidelines as a non-profit, we are not in a financial position to expand elsewhere. If you or anyone you know of is in a position to assist with a secured loan to fund this, we are eager to discuss that with you. Please contact us at naturenexus@gmail.com.
This is not the end of Nature’s Nexus. We look forward to having the opportunity to serve you again soon.
In the meantime, please follow this link for instructions on submitting a letter to the city council expressing your concern on the negative effects this ban will create.
