DPA AIMS TO END THE DRUG WAR, REPAIR ITS HARMS, AND BUILD A BETTER APPROACH TO DRUGS GROUNDED IN HEALTH, EQUITY, AND HUMAN RIGHTS. THIS MOMENT IS PIVOTAL. WE FACE THE URGENT, INTERTWINED CRISES OF RACIALIZED MASS CRIMINALIZATION AND AN ASTOUNDING RATE OF DRUG OVERDOSE DEATHS. THE MOVEMENTS FOR CRIMINAL LEGAL REFORM AND HARM REDUCTION HAVE MADE GREAT PROGRESS IN RECENT YEARS. BUT WE STILL NEED SUBSTANTIAL INVESTMENTS FOR SYSTEMS OF CARE AND TO ADDRESS GENERATIONS OF RACISM, NEGLECT, AND BRUTAL LAW ENFORCEMENT. 0 0 2669537 0 0 ADVANCING MARIJUANA JUSTICE. THE MOVEMENT FOR MARIJUANA LEGALIZATION HAS GROWN EXPONENTIALLY. BUT IN 2021 THERE WERE STILL MORE THAN 300,000 ARRESTS FOR POSSESSION, AND THE COMMUNITIES THAT HAVE SUFFERED THE MOST UNDER PROHIBITION ARE NOT BENEFITING FROM THE BURGEONING LEGAL INDUSTRY AT THE SCALE THAT IS NEEDED TO REPAIR THE HARMS OF DECADES OF PROHIBITION AND PUNISHMENT. DPA SERVES AS THE LEGALIZATION MOVEMENT'S TECHNICAL ADVISOR AND MORAL COMPASS CENTERING COMMUNITY REINVESTMENT, RACIAL EQUITY, AND SOCIAL JUSTICE IN MARIJUANA POLICY.

CRIMINALIZATION IS THE FOUNDATION OF THE DRUG WAR, WITH VAST INVESTMENTS IN PUNISHMENT AND SCANT SUPPORT FOR SERVICES. TODAY, DRUG POSSESSION IS THE MOST ARRESTED OFFENSE IN THE UNITED STATES, WITH MORE THAN ONE-MILLION ARRESTS IN 2021. AT THE SAME TIME, OVERDOSE IS THE LEADING CAUSE OF ACCIDENTAL DEATH, WITH MORE ONE-MILLION LIVES LOST IN THE PAST 20 YEARS. RATES ARE SKYROCKETING AMONG PEOPLE OF COLOR.
