The war on drugs is more than a failure. It has swollen the prison population, left millions of people with criminal records and damaged communities. This one-day conference, organized by formerly incarcerated women, policy experts and community activists, will offer practical examples of public health alternatives.
We will examine how to address fundamental social issues—including race, gender and class inequities—by viewing individuals within the context of communities.
We will have panels and workshops about: Prevention, Treatment, Harm Reduction, and Safety.
We will focus on what works, what’s just, and what can reverse the crisis of incarceration and mass criminalization, particularly as these affect women.
