Children
and
the
Drug
War
Postcard
Campaign
6/4/99
The November Coalition and
Family Watch have produced a set of full-color postcards, raising awareness
of the destructive impact of current drug policies on children and families:
-
Zulima's children will be in
their thirties before she is released from prison.
-
Andy was sentenced to 15 years
for a $90 amphetamine offense. While in prison he was sexually assaulted.
With no counseling available, Andy took his own life.
-
Jared might be alive today if
his friends hadn't been afraid to get help. By prosecuting teens
for experimenting with drug use, we make youthful experimentation even
more dangerous.
-
Ken's sons will be men when
he is released from prison. One in three Black men between the ages
of 20 and 29 are in prison or under court supervision.
This moving 14-card set is available
for only $8, and one card is pre-addressed to the President of the United
States. Participate in a massive group effort and send this card
with your personal to the new President on February 15, 2001. Send
the rest to your family and friends.
