Happy New Year, Friend!
As we start a new year, at DPA, we are grateful for our allies like you from across the United States and abroad who partner with us to demand care and compassion for those of us in need of a helping hand.
We’re humbled by the generous support from an ever-growing community that allows us to do what we do best: reform policies, save lives, and advance the cause of justice.
There’s a lot in store for the year ahead. With you by our side, we look forward to continuing to:
- Fight to treat drug use as a health issue, not a criminal problem – giving people access to lifesaving services, instead of handcuffs and incarceration;
- Advance marijuana legalization – ending infringements upon people’s bodily autonomy while creating pathways for economic mobility;
- Advocate to keep families safe and whole – protecting people’s jobs, creating access to social support programs, and defending against child separation; and
- Uphold the dignity of people who use drugs – countering misinformation and promoting policies backed by evidence.
