Below is a statement from Jeannette Zanipatin, California State Director at the Drug Policy Alliance:
“Governor Newsom’s decision to place a moratorium on the death penalty in California is a step toward reining in one of the ugliest excesses in the overly punitive, discriminatory system that the drug war has helped to fuel. This sends a powerful message at a time when the President is promoting the death penalty for people who distribute drugs.”
Election Day is around the corner… and we must be prepared to shape the national conversation about drugs. We need 250 donors to come forward before July 31!
