The House passed a budget w/devastating cuts to Medicaid and essential health services keeping Americans alive. These cuts mean more overdose deaths, more suffering, & fewer people getting the help they need to survive. Tell the Senate to stop these cuts: engage.drugpolicy.org/secure/tell-se…

We’re heartbroken about the loss of Naomi Burke-Shyne, a fierce leader in drug policy reform. She led Harm Reduction International with fire and persistence and took the organization and our movement to new heights. We’re better for knowing her. Rest well, friend.

The message from parents to Congress is clear: invest in health, treatment, and overdose prevention NOW, don’t gut funding. We joined a group of parents - who’ve lost children to overdose or have children living with addiction - to advocate for the services they know save lives.

50+ years of the drug war gave us cheaper, more potent drugs like fentanyl—not safety. Criminalization also diverts funding away from needed care. We need drug policy rooted in evidence, health, and human rights.

After 31 years as a police officer, Chief Thomas Synan Jr. knows that law enforcement tools don’t help someone struggling with addiction. Community services like housing, treatment & job support are what helps people, but DOJ cuts threaten these services: usatoday.com/story/opinion/…

Not only are there too few supports for #addiction for individuals and families across the country, but those that do exist often do not meet evidence-based standards or the needs of those seeking care. Drug Policy Alliance drugpolicy.org

Medicaid’s the largest payer of addiction and mental health services in the U.S. and used at higher rates in red states. Trump's budget bill put these communities at greater risk of losing these lifesaving services at a time when they’re needed most. statnews.com/2025/06/12/med…

On this Father's Day we recognize the deep pain carried by fathers who have lost a child, or children who have lost their fathers. We honor their grief by continuing to work towards ending the drug war and ensuring access to the lifesaving care and support people need.
