dove and stars People and Organizations Working to Stop the War on Drugs


Our intent here is to provide knowledge-seekers with a few logical jump-off points into the net, rather than a comprehensive listing. The online universe is rich in resources; a number of intelligent, highly creative and dedicated people have put a lot of effort into seeking a peaceful conclusion to the war on drugs.


Organizations


NORMLis the grandparent of marijuana law reform groups. You can email them.

Families Against Mandatory Minimums is a group opposed to one of the most horrific aspects of the war on drugs.

Amnesty International criticizes several aspects of the American legal system, including our inhumane treatment of drug war prisoners.

The Drug Reform Coordination Network issues timely bulletins on drug reform matters, and runs a mailing list.

The American Civil Liberties Union hasn't paid enough attention to the freedom-eroding effects of the war on drugs, but it remains a valuable resource for Bill of Rights defenders.

FEAR is Forfeiture Endangers American Rights, an organization working to end the now-common practice of seizing the property of citizens who in many cases have not even been convicted of any crime.
