What if we had a regulated, safer drug supply?
DPA's new strategic vision builds a bridge to a new world: [link removed]
============
Friend, we all deserve to live our lives with dignity, within whole and loving communities, with the freedom to determine what is best for ourselves, with compassion and support in our times of need, without threat or violence. And we all should be able to live freely regardless of drug use.
The war on drugs has been sold to us by elected officials and leaders as an essential strategy for our protection. Yet, punitive drug laws in the United States, dating back to the 1870s, have served as one of the sharpest tools of oppression.
Right now, we have more people dying of drug overdose than ever before due to an unregulated drug supply that is poisoning and killing our communities and loved ones. More people are arrested for drug possession than any other offense. Millions of lives derailed, and millions of families shattered.
The war on drugs is, and always was, a lie. It’s time for a new approach, including legal regulation and safer supply of all drugs. We just released our new strategic vision, recognizing these challenging times, and our agenda is ambitious.
Check out our brand-new strategic plan to learn how we will fight to end the drug war while building a bridge to a new world where health, equity, and human rights are front and center, and learn how you can help.
