FIGHTING CRIMINAL INJUSTICE AND REIMAGINING DRUG POLICY
OUR MISSION
Imagine sitting in a cell for years, decades, or even for life, convicted of an activity that is no longer a crime, while thousands of other people build intergenerational wealth doing exactly the same thing. That is the situation that tens of thousands of drug war prisoners face today in the United States alone, while countless others languish in jails and prisons worldwide.
We work to repair these harms through legal intervention, constituent support, direct advocacy, and policy change.
