What We Do
The drug war has produced profoundly racist outcomes. Although rates of drug use and selling are comparable across racial lines, people of color are far more likely to be stopped, searched, arrested, prosecuted, convicted and incarcerated for drug law violations than are whites. We believe that the mass criminalization of people of color, particularly young African American men, is as profound a system of racial control as the Jim Crow laws were in this country until the mid-1960s. Our goal is gain support to expose the racism of the drug war and to end the drug war’s assault on communities of color.
