Take Action: End The Drug War

The video, JUST SAY NO ...to the War on Drugs, links to how people can take action to tell Congress to pass the bipartisan SMARTER SENTENCING ACT. The letter to Members of Congress says "This bill will save taxpayer dollars, improve public safety, reduce dangerous overcrowding in federal prisons, and rethink unproductive mandatory minimum sentences for nonviolent drug offenders. Mandatory minimums help drive America’s unsustainably large prison population of over 2.3 million people. The U.S. has only 5% of the world’s population yet holds 25% of its prisoners, many of them nonviolent, often serving longer sentences than those convicted of rape and murder. This is not only senseless and unjust; it wastes valuable resources that could be better spent by law enforcement to prevent violent crime." Help end the drug war, share this article and video. Take action today.

DeBlasio & Bratton Increasing Marijuana Arrests In NYC

A new report released this week by the Marijuana Arrest Research Project reveals that marijuana arrests have actually increased in New York City under the new leadership of Mayor De Blasio and Police Commissioner Bratton. In March 2014, the NYPD performed more marijuana possession arrests than in any month in the last six months under the Bloomberg administration. In fact, March 2014 saw more arrests than in 10 of the 12 months in 2013 under the previous administration. The total number of arrests for first quarter of 2014 are higher than both the third and fourth quarters of 2013. These arrests also continue the disturbing trend of disproportionately falling on individuals of color. In Brooklyn, in predominately white Park Slope, police made just 7 marijuana possession arrests in the first three months of 2014. In Carroll Gardens and Red Hook they made 12 marijuana arrests in that same time frame. More affluent neighborhoods saw even fewer arrests. In Manhattan, Police only made two marijuana possession arrests.
