P>This afternoon, DRCNet will be launching the first sections of what will be a unique, major new reform web site. The stopthedrugwar.org web site will be more than a DRCNet web site, but a gateway to both the issues and the movement, designed to inform people about the consequences of current drug policy, while connecting them with the groups that are working in their areas of interest and other resources and opportunities for involvement. When fully developed, stopthedrugwar.org will point visitors to organizations and resources in their states as well as in their issues. Today we are presenting the first of our issue overviews, giving readers an introduction to topics such as chronic pain, drug-related AIDS, medical marijuana, kids in the drug war, and more, and ask for your feedback. Check it out at http://www.stopthedrugwar.org and let us know what you think. We anticipate that stopthedrugwar.org will become our principal means for promoting DRCNet and bringing new people into the movement. You can help! Stick a link or banner on your web site, write about it in your newsletter, put a bumper sticker on your car or other visible locations. (Bumper stickers sent free to all making donations, and upon request to those who have made donations in the past or who can't afford to donate. E-mail your requests to [email protected] -- normally we just send one, but if you have a use for more, tell us what you will be doing with them, and we'll consider your request.) Note that stopthedrugwar.org will not supersede our current web sites, drcnet.org and druglibrary.org, but will play a new and different role. Stopthedrugwar.org is being built as a "gateway to the movement"; drcnet.org will continue to be "DRCNet Central" while druglibrary.org will continue to be "Information Central".
