Join national reform leaders, elected officials, victims of the drug war, medical marijuana patients, students, and thousands of people who simply believe the war on drugs is doing more harm than good. Private Prisons like CCA and GEO lobby for the war on drugs to continue, so that they can reap the profits. The event acknowledges President Nixon’s declaration of the drug war 40 years ago and demands an exit strategy from this unwinnable war. Protest punitive, inefficient, and biased drug policies. Support health-centered alternatives.
