Friend, You play an important role in our shared fight to end this drug war. That’s why a generous donor is offering you a rare opportunity to have a special seat at the table: Your first year of monthly gifts DOUBLED.   Today, 450,000 people will spend the night behind bars in US prisons and jails because of a drug offense. And, because of unjust and targeted police enforcement, the people behind bars are disproportionately Black, brown, or experiencing poverty.   We can’t wait any longer. Every single day, the drug war harms more lives. The reforms we’re fighting for are urgently necessary. But we still need you to get us there.   Your monthly support is what we need to press forward in our quest to end the drug war once and for all. It wasn’t long ago that drug decriminalization was a dream – but we made it happen in Oregon – where we also secured investments health and support services. And now there is a groundbreaking bill in Congress, the Drug Policy Reform Act, that would do the same federally.   You can give the boost needed to help end criminalization and invest in health-centered approaches to drugs. Please join us and become a sustaining member today!     With gratitude and urgency,   Joe Salas Membership Director, and fellow Reformers Club member   P.S. There are only 50 spots available and 11 have already been taken. Double your monthly donation before it’s too late.   FORWARDED MESSAGE: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Joe Salas To: [email protected] Date: January 25, 2022 Subject: Friend, change taking too long?

Dear Friend, Drug policy reform is important to you. You see how the drug war has criminalized people for what they put in their bodies. How it’s been used as a harmful tool of racial and social control. How it’s denied people basic opportunities like jobs, education, and housing.   You know it’s unjust. But there are elected officials and law enforcement agencies intent on perpetuating this disastrous drug war and harming our communities.    That’s why, with the support of our donors and activists like you, we’re fighting to push through drug policy reforms that remove drugs from the criminal justice system. Instead of punishment, people who use drugs should be offered voluntary health and support services.   Right now, we urgently need your help to step up the fight in 2022. Please become one of the 50 monthly donors we need right now. When you do, you’ll join the Reformers Club AND get this – another donor will DOUBLE your monthly gifts for a full year! Don’t wait! This opportunity will expire soon.   Hurry and donate to DOUBLE your impact on drug policy reform this year!     Your monthly support gives us the fuel to fight towards our goal of having 100 million people live in places where drug possession is decriminalized and access to health services is increased by 2030. Friend, that’s just 8 years away, and your monthly support will help make it happen.    Sincerely, Joe Salas Membership Director and fellow Reformers Club member Drug Policy Alliance P.S.
