Description: The Drug Policy Alliance works to change drug policy no longer arrest, incarcerate, disenfranchise and otherwise harm millions – particularly young people and people of color who are disproportionately affected by the war on drugs. Additionally, they work to make sure new policies reduce the harms of both drug use and drug prohibition, and to promote the sovereignty of individuals over their minds and bodies.
Why: The Drug Policy Alliance envisions a just society in which the use and regulation of drugs are grounded in science, compassion, health, and human rights, in which people are no longer punished for what they put into their own bodies but only for crimes committed against others, and in which the fears, prejudices and punitive prohibitions of today are no more.
Comments: This website is a great resource that has tons of drug fact sheets, information about harm reduction, and resources.
