Our movement is gaining momentum. Just last month, President Biden pardoned every person with simple marijuana possession charges at the federal level, and he’s encouraging governors to do the same at the state level. It’s the first time that marijuana reform has ever been advanced by a U.S. president.  

But this is only a small step on our journey to a world in which everyone can work, parent, be housed, have a community, experience joy, and live freely, regardless of drug use.

We need your continued support to keep up the fight to decriminalize all drugs and invest in health services, redirect drug war funding to support communities, and address the root causes of problematic drug use with robust health, harm reduction, and drug treatment options.

Friend, please make a special Giving Tuesday gift to have it TRIPLE MATCHED—up to $150,000—to keep progressive drug policies moving forward.

Support from generous friends like you has helped us achieve phenomenal victories that will protect people’s freedom and dignity. Together, we’ve accomplished huge triumphs, including:

• Advocating for New York City to open the nation’s first legally sanctioned overdose prevention centers where staff have already saved lives and reversed hundreds of overdoses.
• Spearheading the Measure 110 campaign, which made Oregon the first state in the nation to decriminalize drug possession and invest hundreds of millions of dollars to expand access to health, harm reduction, and treatment services.
• And getting the MORE Act passed in the House, which would deschedule marijuana to end federal criminalization and begin to repair the harms of prohibition.

Now we are working on getting the Cannabis Administration and Opportunity Act passed in the Senate, but we are facing tough opposition. Can I count on you to renew your support today with a gift that will TRIPLE to help DPA continue pushing for people-centered drug policies long into the future?

Together, we can make change!

P.S. Our country is dealing with more drug overdoses than ever before. Every day, there are more arrests for simple drug possession than any other offense. Hundreds of thousands of lives are being destroyed, families are being torn apart, and communities of color are unfairly bearing the brunt of this suffering. Our nation is experiencing a crisis. But it doesn’t have to be this way. 

Please, make a gift on Giving Tuesday—while your gift will TRIPLE—to help end the racist enforcement of drug laws, invest in health alternatives that protect us, and save lives.
