A marijuana dispensary has been approved at San Pablo & Rheem less than 50 feet from Masjid Al-Rahman, a local mosque, that offer daily services including youth activities 5 days per week.  

This is not just a place of worship. It is an active youth and community center where families gather daily.

We are currently in the process of formally appealing this decision to the City Council, and community support is critical.

Why this matters:

• Protecting children: Youth attend programs at this location five days a week, making proximity to a dispensary inappropriate
• Community safety: Increased traffic, loitering, and activity raise safety concerns for families and neighbors
• Traffic & congestion: The site is at the busy San Pablo & Rheem intersection, with a major AC Transit bus stop (Line 72) directly outside
• Neighborhood impact: Risk of noise, public consumption, crime, and blight affecting nearby residents and businesses

 
Take action

We are asking the City Council to reverse this decision and protect our children, our neighborhood, and our shared community spaces.
