Decades of research from around the world show that decriminalization doesn’t increase rates of drug use or crime – but it can drastically reduce addiction, overdose, and HIV. It’s time for Maryland to pass HB 1054/SB0784 and save lives.

[Progressive Maryland Drug Policy Taskforce @pmdrugpolicy]

Let's stand together and demand that SB0784 be passed! The hearing for this will be Tuesday, March 8th at 1 PM in both the House and the Senate. Don't forget to tune in under "Live Media" at the link below!

As COVID-19 progresses, we are reminded of how elected officials choose profit over effective solutions. But when our fellow humans are in a time of need, we come together to help one another. Let's come together during this opioid crisis to demand the effective solutions!

As a human race, we are all connected...

[People's Action @PplsAction]

Our leaders in Congress and the White House should understand from history that enacting harsher penalties for controlled substances does nothing to save lives or support public health and safety. STOP perpetuating the drug war. https://t.co/uz3U2GlSZD #NoMoreDrugWar

Watching HBO’s ‘Ernie & Joe: Crisis Cops.’ They’re kind of ‘everyone is a human first’ perspective that they bring mental health (and naturally drug related) policing in Texas is something we should be emulating in Bmore
