I know these are difficult times. But when it comes to drugs, we can move forward together by being courageous and insisting on what actually saves lives.
Fully funded health services. Accessible treatment. And overdose prevention strategies that every community can count on. These are solutions that cross ideology and geography. They’re the common ground we can all agree on.
Our communities deserve compassion, care, and urgency. We deserve leadership that rejects violence and embraces life-saving solutions.

The federal government is gutting funding for overdose prevention and harm reduction services that save lives. At a time, they are also ramping up attacks on our communities under the false pretense of combating drug use. That’s why we’re asking you to fuel our response.
Because the drug war is a failure. It’s time for a better approach. And at the Drug Policy Alliance, we know what works.
Health-based approaches work. Naloxone works. Fentanyl test strips work. Medication for opioid use disorder works. These are proven solutions that save lives—and it’s up to this movement to fight for them.
