Are you concerned that:

The US currently has the largest prison population in the world (including half a million people incarcerated for non-violent drug offenses)?

The US has sent over $4 billion dollars to Colombia since 2000 as part of the War on Drugs, but there has been no change in the price, purity or availability of cocaine on America’s streets?

Drug-related crimes continue to plague our communities?

Funding for prisons and drug enforcement takes away precious resources from our schools, hospitals and social service institutions?

There don’t seem to be any alternatives to the punitive “Tough on Drugs” approach endorsed by most politicians?

We sure are.

The Drug War Roadshow believes the Drug War is serious, but learning about it should be fun. DWR combines classic popular education tools (skits, puppets and humor) with rare on-the-ground digital images that examine the human impacts of US Drug Policy abroad. DWR believes we all should have a say in how we approach drug and crime reduction in our communities and our foreign policy.

Don’t miss it!
