“A community response to the 40-year War on Drugs and Mass Incarceration”
History
Friday, June 17, 2011, marks the 40th anniversary of President Richard Nixon’s declaration of the “war on drugs.” His decision catapulted the U.S. into a wasteful, decades-long, failed effort that has had zero impact on drug consumption in the U.S., but has had profound negative impacts on communities in the U.S. and
around the world, and on communities of color in particular. The Drug Policy Alliance, a recognized leader in drug policy reform, is spearheading efforts across the country to highlight the impacts of this ill-fated war. The Drug Policy Alliance, working with others in the drug policy reform movement, aims to transform this year’s anniversary into a year of action.

Community Solutions …
Marijuana must be made legal
Over-incarceration must stop
The war on drugs is “the new Jim Crow”
Drug use must be treated as a health issue, not a criminal justice issue
Local communities must have an open dialogue about prohibition and drug legalization
Prisons are NOT the solution
The War on Drugs is Destroying Our Communities
We are asking the community to come out and join the discussion.
Come get Educated, Empowered, and Entertained
