Friend,

I wanted to make sure you saw this message. Because you know drug policy reform isn’t about drugs at all. It’s about people.

People struggling with lifelong barriers to jobs, housing, and education because of simple drug law violations, many that are now legal in certain states.

People who cannot legally access the medical marijuana that would lessen their chronic pain.

People in need of evidence-based treatment to help them, not harm them, if they struggle with drug addiction.

With your help we can make drug policy about people – about helping them, not handcuffing them.

Friend, will you join us as a Drug Policy Alliance member? Your gift of $8, $15, $30, or more will help fuel the fight for drug policies grounded in science, compassion, health, and human rights.

Friend,

The harms of the drug war are clear: death, corruption, and irreparable harm to individuals and families. Yet, some people in power think the answer is to double down on this cruel and senseless drug war.

You and I both know punitive approaches are the problem, not the solution.

At the Drug Policy Alliance, we are fighting for sensible drug policies grounded in science, compassion, health, and human rights. For too long, the war on drugs has destroyed lives, violated human rights, and cost the United States more than $47 billion in taxpayer funds each year.

The war on drugs has not made our society safer, healthier, or more just. It has done just the opposite.

Friend, we’re asking for your help on behalf of people swept up in the 1.4 million arrests made for simple drug possession each year; on behalf of the 68,000 people who died from a drug overdose in 2018; and on behalf of everyone who has been irreparably harmed by this reckless war on drugs. Will you join the Drug Policy Alliance again in the fight for just, compassionate drug policies with a gift of $8, $15, $30, or more today?
For people spending years behind bars for low-level marijuana offenses, even though it is now legal in many states;

P.S. Did you know that simple drug possession is the most arrested offense in the United States? We can’t let arresting people be our primary drug policy. For the millions of people who need a helping hand, rather than a criminal record, I hope you will join us in this fight for sensible drug policy reform today.
