@fullcirclenh Thanks for sharing!

@sendtodavid1 @ClergyNDP Conscious or not... the systems tend resist reform and cling to their own survival. Walter Wink's work on principalities and powers is a helpful framework for the problem.

Give me a few hours and I'll have you there on the drug policy as well @MatthewSoerens! But yes, you don't need to agree with my solutions to know that scapegoating immigrants is the wrong way to go.

[Matthew Soerens @MatthewSoerens]

I'm not an expert on drug policy & I don't know whether I agree or not with all my friend @tmking's policy recommendations

But the data absolutely backs up his assertion that fentanyl is a huge crisis that has almost nothing to do with illegal immigration https://t.co/UiEX69Pdxl

The overdose crisis is real. Illicit fentanyl is a huge problem. But @kleavittnh is only offering old failed strategies. It's time to learn from other countries and focus on demand. #NHPolitics #2022Elections https://t.co/slpdlvEqdH via @UnionLeader

@charmiesays I learned about the failures of drug prohibition first as a foster parent, then through the work and stories of @johannhari101 @SteveTransform @dianemgoldstein @PoliceForReform @tmking @AliceMarieFree @wudzee0 @drcarlhart @DrugPolicyOrg and many others. Thankful to add my voice♥️

We value a dead person who's abstinent over a living person who's still using drugs.

That's not the intent, but it is the outcome of the majority of our current drug policies.

What does hitting bottom look like? Examine how staying open to “what is” invites transformation in the #WeConspire article Letting Go to Live in Truth. Explore contemplative wisdom from @MirabaiStarr #JamesFinley, Timothy McMahan King (@tmking) and more! https://t.co/oOds9fJ3Yr

@Sandi @Sojourners I'm searching the way back machine now...

[Timothy McMahan King @tmking]

@chwoodiwiss @Sandi @Sojourners @godgrrl I'm not always right but when I am... it's about @Sandi being awesome!

[Christina Dent @ChristinaBDent]

The underground drug supply has:

No quality control
No regulations
No labeling
No accurate dosing
Maximum potency

Prohibition -> toxic supply -> overdose crisis.

Grateful to be a part of the work of @NHChurches and to know they are a faith voice speaking out against old drug war tactics!

[The Leadership Conference @civilrightsorg]

“Most critically, this policy turns back the clock and powers the racist War on Drugs. In 2019 alone, 74 percent of those sentenced for crimes related to fentanyl and 68 percent of those sentenced for fentanyl analogues were people of color.”

This is important to understand ⬇️
