The Drug Policy Alliance is a leading organization in the U. S. Their mission is to create a world that values every individual's humanity, regardless of their relationship with drugs.

The alliance firmly believes that drug regulation should be based on evidence, health, equity, and human rights. Collaborating with other movements and advocating at every level of policy, the Drug Policy Alliance works to change laws, promote justice, and save lives. They aim to reshape our future with love instead of war.

They strongly oppose the criminalization of drug use, which disproportionately affects people of color and those living in poverty. They strive to eliminate the fear associated with drug criminalization that prevents people from seeking help for addiction or during overdose emergencies. By investing in communities rather than arresting individuals for drug offenses, the alliance aims to combat the devastating impact of drug criminalization.

With millions of drug possession arrests and billions of dollars spent on the drug war annually, they are determined to end this harmful system. To achieve their goals, the Drug Policy Alliance relies on private donations as a 501c3 nonprofit organization. Their work encompasses various areas, including public education, campaigns, research, grantmaking, and movement building.

Through these efforts, they prioritize community reinvestment, ending civil punishment, drug decriminalization, overdose prevention, and legal regulation. Over the years, their work has had a significant impact on drug policies in the U. S.

They encourage supporters to take action and get involved in influencing drug policy at the local, state, and national levels.
