Friend,
For the last three decades, the drug war has invaded our homes and prevented people from finding stable housing with devastating consequences.
Want to learn more? Join us this Wednesday at 4:30pm ET for our Uprooting the Drug War Discussion Series: Housing, the Drug War, and the Denial of Stable Places to Live.
We’re proud to be co-hosting this webinar with People’s Action. It will bring together advocates, researchers, and directly impacted people to explore the ways in which the drug war has infiltrated the housing system and to generate solutions for reform.
Everyone should have access to stable, affordable housing, but many people are denied places to live based on misguided ideals of deterring people from using or being around drugs.
Denying housing or kicking people out of their homes only creates new problems and makes existing ones worse. People and families without homes are less likely to be able to keep jobs or stay in school, and those without homes who are using drugs are more likely to overdose or use more chaotically. Instead of shutting people out, we should be opening doors so that everyone has a place to call home.
We’ll be discussing this and more on Wednesday so please register now to join this critical conversation.
