With an economic crisis requiring sensible budget cuts, a Constitution-friendly administration and more people joining the drug policy reform movement than ever before, we have a unique opportunity to make our case:

Prohibition costs money and lives, and doesn't work.

Join our 2009 Changing Minds, Laws & Lives campaign today:

CHANGING MINDS

• Develop creative ways to get national media attention, like our upcoming News Rewriting Project.
• Continue to grow StoptheDrugWar.org capabilities, traffic and base of support... we are reaching millions...

CHANGING LAWS

• Keep pressure on the Obama administration to follow through with campaign promises.
• Lobby Congress to make smart funding choices.
• Stand up for the rights of SWAT raid victims.

CHANGING LIVES

• Reduce the pain and suffering of individuals and their families caused by drug policies that don't work.
• Work towards reducing illegal drug trade violence, mass incarceration of nonviolent offenders, the spread of deadly diseases, denial of needed medicines, dilution of Constitutional protections and disparate use of drug enforcement with respect to race and class.

Together, we can take advantage of this unique opportunity to push for drug policy reform NOW.
