DRUG POLICY ALLIANCE ("DPA") ADDRESSES THE HARMS OF DRUG USE AND DRUG CRIMINALIZATION THROUGH POLICY SOLUTIONS, ORGANIZING, AND PUBLIC EDUCATION. WE ADVOCATE FOR A HOLISTIC APPROACH TO DRUGS THAT PRIORITIZES HEALTH, SOCIAL SUPPORTS, AND COMMUNITY WELLBEING. WE OPPOSE PUNITIVE APPROACHES THAT DESTABILIZE PEOPLE, BLOCK ACCESS TO CARE, AND DRAIN COMMUNITIES OF RESOURCES. WE BELIEVE THAT THE REGULATION OF DRUGS SHOULD BE GROUNDED IN EVIDENCE, HEALTH, EQUITY, AND HUMAN RIGHTS. IN COLLABORATION WITH OTHER MOVEMENTS, WE CHANGE LAWS, ADVANCE JUSTICE, AND SAVE LIVES.
