After more than 50 years of the drug war, our communities are struggling more than ever with overdose and addiction. Cartels are producing even more potent and dangerous drugs like fentanyl. So why is the U.S. government ramping up the failed drug war?
As long as politicians focus on punishment instead of reducing demand for drugs, the harm will continue. We refuse to accept that. And we know you won’t either.
We need fully funded health services, accessible treatment, and overdose prevention strategies that every community can count on.
Health-based responses to addiction like naloxone. Fentanyl test strips. Medication for opioid use disorder. Our future depends on our ability to access these tools.
