Uprooting the Drug War Discussion Series
You think you know the drug war? It goes far beyond arrests and incarceration.
Punishment for drug use is not limited to the criminal legal system. It is deeply rooted in the policies of various civil systems where people meet the drug war on a daily basis. The drug war has twisted and warped the systems we depend on, doling out punishment instead of assistance.
The Drug Policy Alliance is hosting a series of six online discussions to talk about how we can work together, across movements, to fully extract the drug war and its culture of criminalization and punishment from our lives. Learn more about Uprooting the Drug War and watch the recordings of previous webinars below.
