Drug Policy Alliance

Dear Friend,

We’re driving bold federal drug policy reforms... and winning. But there’s so much more to be done. Simple drug possession remains the most arrested offense in the country. To end it, we need you. $50,000 is on the table waiting to be matched by midnight, tonight.

Your gift now is urgently needed and will TRIPLE in impact. $100 BECOMES $300 NOW.

The most critical step we can take right now to undo the drug war is remove criminal penalties for drugs. Instead, we need to invest in health and treatment services for those who want them.

Friend, you can make it happen!

Thank you,

Maritza Perez
Director, Office of National Affairs

It's Giving Tuesday. $50,000 match to end the drug war.

Friend,

Today, as people globally give to make change, I hope you’ll generously include the Drug Policy Alliance in your #GivingTuesday donations.

Right now, drug possession is the most arrested offense in the United States, with one arrest every 31 seconds. For decades, we’ve seen how the criminalization of drugs has been used as a devastating form of systemic oppression, with a particularly ruthless impact on generations of Black, Latinx, and Indigenous communities and people experiencing poverty.

Enough is enough! It’s time to stop criminalizing people for drug possession and instead shift to a health-based approach.

Today, your gift will TRIPLE in value and in impact to end this harmful drug war and replace it with rights-respecting, health-promoting policies.

Friend, advocate for what you believe in. Please make a gift today.

Sincerely,

Joe Salas
Membership Director
Drug Policy Alliance

P.S. Your gift multiplies 3X in support of urgently needed reforms to stop treating drug use as a criminal problem and shift to a health approach. How fast we make progress depends on you, Friend.
