OUR MISSION IS TO ADVANCE THOSE POLICIES AND ATTITUDES THAT BEST REDUCE THE HARMS OF BOTH DRUG USE AND DRUG PROHIBITION, AND TO PROMOTE THE SOVEREIGNTY OF INDIVIDUALS OVER THEIR MINDS AND BODIES. 0 0 6398490 409086 PUBLIC POLICY AND LEGAL AFFAIRS- THE DRUG POLICY ALLIANCE SEEKS TO FUNDAMENTALLY TRANSFORM THE WAY SOCIETY THINKS ABOUT AND ADDRESSES DRUGS, THE PEOPLE WHO USE THEM, AND THE MARKETS THROUGH WHICH THEY ARE AVAILABLE. WE ADVOCATE A WHOLESALE CHANGE OF DRUG POLICY - AN END TO THE WAR ON DRUGS - BASED ON OUR ORGANIZATIONAL VALUES OF REASON, COMPASSION, JUSTICE, FREEDOM, AND RESPONSIBILITY. MOST GENERALLY, OUR GOAL IS TO SHIFT THE U.S. RESPONSE TO DRUGS FROM A PUNITIVE CRIMINAL JUSTICE MODEL TO ONE BASED ON PUBLIC HEALTH AND HUMAN RIGHTS. WHILE OUR WORK ADDRESSES THE WIDE RANGE OF SOCIAL, POLITICAL, AND ECONOMIC ISSUES TOUCHED BY THE WAR ON DRUGS, NEARLY ALL OF OUR EFFORTS FALL UNDER FOUR SUBSTANTIVE ISSUE AREAS: REFORMING THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM, EMPOWERING PUBLIC HEALTH APPROACHES, REFORMING CANNABIS POLICY, AND PROMOTING EFFECTIVE DRUG EDUCATION FOR YOUTH.THE DRUG POLICY ALLIANCE SUPPORTS INCREMENTAL POLICY AND LEGAL REFORMS AT THE LOCAL, STATE, AND FEDERAL LEVELS THAT CAN BE ACCOMPLISHED OVER THE NEXT FEW YEARS, WITH THE GOAL THAT EACH REFORM 1) CREATES REAL AND MEASURABLE BENEFITS FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN OR WOULD BE UNJUSTLY VICTIMIZED BY THE WAR ON DRUGS, THEREBY REDUCING THE DEATH, DISEASE, CRIME, AND SUFFERING ASSOCIATED WITH BOTH DRUG USE AND DRUG PROHIBITION; 2) BUILDS POLITICAL CONSCIOUSNESS AMONG OTHER ORGANIZATIONS AND THE PUBLIC REGARDING THE NEED TO REFORM DRUG POLICIES; AND 3) ADVANCES OUR LONG-TERM VISION OF A SOCIETY IN WHICH CRIMINALIZATION AND CRIMINAL JUSTICE INSTITUTIONS PLAY A MINIMAL ROLE IN DEALING WITH DRUGS, DRUG USERS, AND DRUG MARKETS. THE DRUG POLICY ALLIANCE IS CURRENTLY MOST ACTIVE AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL AND IN CALIFORNIA, COLORADO, NEW JERSEY, NEW MEXICO, NEW YORK, AND WASHINGTON, D.C. 1281554 1122308 GRANTS- THE DRUG POLICY ALLIANCE'S ADVOCACY GRANTS PROGRAM ADVANCES DRUG POLICY REFORM AT THE LOCAL, STATE, AND NATIONAL LEVELS BY STRATEGICALLY FUNDING SMALLER AND GEOGRAPHICALLY LIMITED ORGANIZATIONS AND PROJECTS. IT HAS THREE FUNDING TRACKS. THE FIRST IS PROMOTING POLICY CHANGE, THROUGH WHICH WE AWARDED APPROXIMATELY $750,000 MILLION. THE SECOND, TOTALING APPROXIMATELY $400,000, IS RAPID RESPONSE/SPECIAL OPPORTUNITIES, THROUGH WHICH WE AWARDED SMALLER GRANTS TO TIME-SENSITIVE PROJECTS. THE THIRD IS A DISCRETIONARY FUND OF APPROXIMATELY $20,000, THROUGH WHICH WE AWARD SMALL GRANTS OF UP TO $2,500. WE ALSO ALLOCATE FUNDS TO BRING TOGETHER GRANTEES ANNUALLY TO IMPROVE THE COORDINATION AMONG ORGANIZATIONS AND WITH THE DRUG POLICY ALLIANCE'S PROGRAMS. 1625184 11356 COMMUNICATIONS- THE DRUG POLICY ALLIANCE INITIATES AND SHAPES LOCAL, NATIONAL, AND INTERNATIONAL DIALOGUE ON DRUG POLICY REFORM, EXPOSING THE PUBLIC TO OUR MESSAGES AND GENERATING EARNED MEDIA EACH YEAR EQUIVALENT IN IMPACT TO WHAT WOULD COST MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN PAID ADVERTISING. OUR PUBLIC RELATIONS EFFORTS SUPPORT OUR LOCAL AND NATIONAL PROGRAMS AND PROJECTS, HELP SMALLER ORGANIZATIONS PROMOTE THEIR OWN CAMPAIGNS, AND TAKE ADVANTAGE OF BREAKING NEWS TO PROVOKE DEBATE FRAMED BY OUR MISSION AND VISION. WE PUBLISH BOOKLETS AND OTHER MATERIALS ON CUTTING EDGE DRUG POLICY ISSUES, AND COLLABORATE WITH ALLIED ORGANIZATIONS IN PRODUCING ASSESSMENTS OF STATE AND FEDERAL DRUG AND CRIME POLICIES. THE LINDESMITH LIBRARY, HOUSED IN OUR NEW YORK OFFICE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC, IS AMONG THE WORLD'S LEADING REPOSITORIES OF PRINT AND OTHER MEDIA MATERIALS ABOUT DRUGS AND DRUG POLICY, AND HAS EMERGED AS THE DE FACTO ARCHIVES OF THE HARM REDUCTION AND DRUG POLICY REFORM MOVEMENTS. WHILE OUR PRIORITY IN OUR PUBLIC EDUCATION WORK IS TO BUILD SUPPORT FOR SHORT-TERM STATE CAMPAIGNS, WE ALSO SEEK TO ENGAGE IN LONGER-TERM CAMPAIGNS TO EDUCATE PEOPLE MORE BROADLY ABOUT OUR MISSION AND VISION. WE USE MARKETING TO PROMOTE DPA'S "BRAND" AS THE LEADING ORGANIZATION ADVANCING ALTERNATIVES TO THE WAR ON DRUGS. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES INCLUDE- CONFERENCES, HEALTH AND HARM REDUCTION, TREATMENT AND PREVENTION, AND SPECIAL PROJECTS. 9305228 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 68 0 74 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 X 17 16 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 AL AK AZ AR CA CO CT DE DC FL GA ID IL IA KS KY LA ME MD MA MI MN MS MO MT NE NH NJ NM NY NC ND OH OK OR PA RI SC SD TN TX VI VT VA WA WI WY IN NV HI UT WV X X X RYAN CHAVEZ DIR OF FINANCE AND ADMIN 2126138041 131 W 33RD STREET 15TH FLOOR NEW YORK NY 10001 IRA GLASSER PRESIDENT 2.00 X X 0 0 0 REV EDWIN SANDERS SECRETARY 2.00 X X 0 0 0 RICHARD B WOLF TREASURER 2.00 X X 0 0 0 ETHAN NADELMANN EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 40.00 X X 267477 0 44993 CARL HART PHD DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 JODIE EVANS DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 JAMES E FERGUSON II DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 MATHILDE KRIM PHD DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 PAMELA LICHTY DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 ROBERT NEWMAN MD DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 GEORGE SOROS DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 DR CHRISTINE DOWNTON DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 JASON FLOM DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 JOHN VASCONCELLOS DIRECTOR THROUGH 5/14 1.00 X 0 0 0 ILONA SZABO DE CAVALHO DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 THE HON LARRY CAMPBELL DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 DAVID C LEWIS MD DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 MICHAEL SKOLNIK DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 RYAN CHAVEZ DIR.
