| Friend, With your help, we’ve long advocated for all drug decriminalization as a crucial step toward ending the disastrous drug war. Now we have a first-of-its-kind plan for how to make it happen nationwide. Dismantling the Federal Drug War: A Comprehensive Drug Decriminalization Framework is our new proposal outlining how to end the criminalization of people who use drugs and begin repairing the harms of drug enforcement. Here are some of the ways we can do it:
For the first time ever, we’re finally seeing real momentum to decriminalize drugs at both the state and federal level. Our proposal has already attracted attention in Congress and legislation including our framework will be introduced as soon as this year. In November, Oregonians could approve the first-in-the-nation ballot initiative to decriminalize drugs and expand access to treatment and health services. And communities across the country are calling for alternatives to law enforcement and incarceration to address police violence, racism, and mass criminalization. For 50 years the drug war has perpetuated harms, particularly on communities of color. But now, thanks to you, there is unprecedented momentum to shift away from punishment and instead adopt a health-based approach to drugs. You’ve helped us get this far. Add your name to help us take the next step to end the criminalization of people who use drugs.
