Dear Friend,
You have an incredible chance to strengthen the fight to end this devastating drug war. A generous donor just announced they will triple-match all gifts up to $150,000 before December 31st. We are thankful for this opportunity. Because the need is urgent.
The drug war has seeped into every aspect of our lives. A simple possession charge, even just suspected possession, can create damaging, life-long barriers for you. It can jeopardize your access to basic human needs like housing, jobs, and education.
Recent data confirms that drugs remain the leading cause of arrest in the United States, with possession topping the list for most arrested offense. And due to targeted policing and enforcement, Black, Latinx, and Indigenous people continue to make up a disproportionate share of the unjust arrests. We must prioritize decriminalizing drugs and investing in health-centered approaches to problematic drug use.
The federal Drug Policy Reform Act would do just that. And we need you to get it passed.
Friend, join the fight with TRIPLE the impact today. We need you to help push this important legislation through Congress. Please don’t delay!

Sincerely,
Kassandra Frederique
Executive Director

P.S. There are still more than 1 million arrests for simple possession each year. We can’t wait. Donate now.
