Your Support Is RadiatingAcross The Country

This fight is at the heart of DPAs

Movement Building Team. Our vision

is to unite all of our allies those work-

ing on issues like racial justice, public

health, criminal justice reform, drug

education, marijuana law reform, and

human rights behind our work to end

the drug war. We channel your support

to fund, mentor, train and provide re-

sources to dozens of local and national

organizations. And we challenge other

prominent organizations across the

political spectrum to take up our fight.

We persistently connect the dots of

drug policy issues for people andorganizations coming to drug policy

reform from their own experience.

I truly believe that everyone is a drug

policy reformer. Most people just dont

know it yet.
