Communities across the country are struggling as the federal government ramps up the drug war.
Millions are losing access to life-saving health services and addiction treatment.
Our government is undermining due process while bombing boats and killing people at sea in the name of the drug war. All while diverting resources from real solutions that protect us like access to naloxone, medication for opioid use disorder, fentanyl test strips, overdose prevention services, and treatment.
Overdose deaths in the United States dropped by nearly 24% between 2023 and 2024—real progress after years of crisis.
But instead of pushing forward on what was working—treatment, harm reduction and overdose prevention services, housing, and compassion—our government is cutting off funding for these lifelines.
This affects all of us.
And the Drug Policy Alliance will do whatever it takes to end the federal government’s assault on people who use drugs and the communities that care for them and fight for policies that actually keep us safe and healthy.
