NEW DRCNet FRONT-PAGE!! http://www.stopthedrugwar.org (You can also still find us at http://www.drcnet.org -- the two sites have separate content.) Over the past two weeks, DRCNet has made four exciting additions to our web presence. The first is our new front- page at the easy-to-remember URL: www.StopTheDrugWar.org which is up and running. (This URL is not case-sensitive.) We will be marketing stopthedrugwar.org in various ways over the coming months and we hope to see a significant increase in the pace of Rapid Response Network growth as a result. The page includes our quick sign-up form and a link to our full membership form. If you are not already a full member of DRCNet, please stop by and fill it out. DRUG RELATED AIDS http://www.drcnet.org/AIDS The second new addition is a section on DRUG-RELATED AIDS, which represents a joint project between DRCNet, The Dogwood Center of Princeton, NJ, and Safe Works AIDS Project of Minneapolis, MN, featuring a state-by-state breakdown of drug-related HIV. The section includes a clickable map for ease of use and includes data broken down by ethnicity for each states' statistics. Our gratitude, and the gratitude of the whole movement goes out to Dogwood Center Director (and DRCNet Board Member) Dawn Day, author of Health Emergency and Health Emergency '97, for her tireless efforts in this field. With needle exchange being debated and instituted all over the nation, we know that providing this information will be invaluable for media work, political activism and coalition-building around the AIDS prevention and needle exchange issues. PRISONERS OF THE DRUG WAR http://www.stopthedrugwar.org/prisoners A compendium of stories of the prisoners of the drug war. People who would not be rotting in prison, at taxpayer expense, but for the pervasive reach, and perverse excesses, of the War on Drugs. Bring your hankies. A great way to re-charge an activists' batteries by remembering what we are all fighting for... the end to the waste of lives and resources in pursuit of... well... in pursuit of higher profits for corrections corporations, the drug testing industry, criminals, the prison construction industry, enormous budgets for the law enforcement bureaucracy, etc., etc., etc. (you know, you know.) ACTION ALERT ARCHIVE http://www.drcnet.org/rapid Right now, on-line, in one place, a (near) complete list of every Rapid Response Network Action Alert since DRCNet's founding in 1993.
