StoptheDrugWar.org
http://stopthedrugwar.org/

Our Mission

StoptheDrugWar.org works for an end to drug prohibition worldwide, and an end to the "drug war" in its current form. We believe that much of the harm commonly attributed to "drugs" is really the result of placing drugs in a criminal environment. We believe the global drug war has fueled violence, civil instability, and public health crises; and that the currently prevalent arrest- and punishment-based policies toward drugs are unjust.
Consistent with our goal of ending prohibition (e.g. some form of "legalization"), StoptheDrugWar.org also works toward partial reforms of drug policy that are politically feasible in the present, including: marijuana legalization; criminal justice and policing reform; harm reduction practices such as needle exchange; demilitarization of US-driven drug policy in Latin America and other regions, and on the US borders; and availability of substances for medical use; among others. Our primary but not exclusive emphasis is on US policies.

StoptheDrugWar.org pursues these objectives through the following strategies:

Publication of extensive, journalistic-level materials, mostly online, an area in which we are the acknowledged leader;
Long-term organizing of coalitions advocating specific policy reforms for which mainstream support can be mobilized for political change in the near term;
Grassroots activation and mobilization of drug policy reform supporters; and
Incorporating practices in all of our programs that support and grow the drug policy reform movement, and the many organizations that make it up.
 
Faces and Voices of Recovery

Faces & Voices of Recovery 2011 – 2014 Strategic Plan

Areas they are working on that promote harm reduction

Federal & State Advocacy
The voice of the organized addiction recovery community must be present in the development and implementation of public policies affecting the recovery community. Federal policies that enable recovery, health, wellness and civic engagement for people affected by alcohol and other drugs are needed and discriminatory barriers that keep people from seeking recovery or moving on to better lives once they achieve it should be removed. A network of grassroots recovery community organizations advocates for state-level policies with similar goals.

International
All across the world people in recovery, family members, friends and allies are coming together to develop and support recovery advocacy and peer recovery support movements.

Peer Recovery Support
Peer recovery support helps people and families find, reinforce, and strengthen long-term recovery. Peer recovery support often works in tandem with treatment and mutual aid support and addresses a broad range of recovery needs, strengths, and options.

Recovery Community Organizations
Recovery community organizations (RCOs) are the heart and soul of the recovery movement.

Stand Up For Recovery
We envision a day when the public and policymakers will accord individuals and families affected by addiction dignity and that they will receive respectful, nondiscriminatory care on the same basis as people with other health conditions.

Youth
Many teens and young adults find recovery at a young age and recovery is achievable when they have access to effective services and supports designed to meet their particular needs. Their voices and lived experiences offer hope to other young people still struggling with addiction. Young people in or seeking recovery, their families and friends, schools, service providers, researchers and policymakers are beginning to work together to use recovery as an organizing concept for services to children, adolescents, and transition age youth.

End Discrimination
Discriminatory barriers create legal obstacles for people in or seeking recovery, especially if they have a criminal justice history, that make it much more difficult for them to get their lives back on track. There are myriad forms of discrimination in the provision of health care, as well as educational, housing and employment opportunities, creating barriers to full participation in community life.

Health Care Reform
Millions of Americans affected by addiction have not been able to get the help they need to recover and address other health concerns because they have not had health insurance. The Affordable Care Act offers new opportunities and choices for people in or seeking recover from addiction.

Crew2000
http://www.crew2000.org.uk/

An Edinburgh based harm reduction and advice charity

Crew philosophy
We neither condemn nor condone drug use but believe there are ways to reduce harm for the significant numbers of our fellow citizens who decide to use them.

At Crew: We want to ensure that people have the best information available in order to make up their own mind about whether they should or shouldn't use drugs. We point out the dangers in using drugs and if people are still intent on using them we suggest ways to use which may be safer than others.

Joint working: We work closely with other agencies, in the private, public and voluntary sectors and always strive to provide a professional service to the public. We don't wait for young people to develop problems with their drug use, our services reach out to where young people are and where they use their drug.

Community development approach: We are continually learning form drug users as well as from colleagues in a variety of sectors & from around the world. Crew's model of work has been successfully incorporated into services across the globe. Crew adopts a community developmental approach to working with people and therefore does not copyright any of its resources or materials, believing that they come from the community and should be freely available to the community.

Students for Sensible Drug Policy

1011 O Street NW #1
Washington, DC 20001
Phone: (202) 393-5280
[email protected]

Students for Sensible Drug Policy (SSDP) is the only international network of students dedicated to ending the war on drugs. At its heart, SSDP is a grassroots organization, led by a student-run Board of Directors. We create change by bringing young people together and creating safe spaces for students of all political and ideological stripes to have honest conversations about drugs and drug policy. Founded in 1998, SSDP comprises thousands of members at hundreds of campuses in countries around the globe.



Mission Statement
Students for Sensible Drug Policy is an international grassroots network of students who are concerned about the impact drug abuse has on our communities, but who also know that the War on Drugs is failing our generation and our society.

SSDP mobilizes and empowers young people to participate in the political process, pushing for sensible policies to achieve a safer and more just future, while fighting back against counterproductive Drug War policies, particularly those that directly harm students and youth.

Key Values
Shared power and authority
Youth-controlled agenda
Collaboration and partnership
Constituent-specific strategies
Learning
Diversity and inclusion


Values Statement
SSDP neither condones nor condemns drug use, rather we respect the right of individuals to make decisions about their own health and well-being. We encourage honest conversation about the realities of the drug war. We promote youth civic engagement as a critical tool in reforming drug policy. SSDP respects the diverse experiences and identities of our constituents. We develop leaders who advocate for policy changes based on justice, liberty, compassion and reason.

SSDP’s Structure as a Grassroots Organization
SSDP is comprised of student chapters all across the world. Any student anywhere can start a chapter. While SSDP has a variety of national campaigns and actions that everyone can participate in, chapters are also encouraged to work on those issues that have the most traction in their own communities. Annually SSDPers convene for a national conference. There, students acquire essential activist knowledge and skills. Also, chapters elect students to serve on SSDP’s Board of Directors. The Board in turn selects and oversees SSDP’s executive director, who is responsible for tending to both the day-to-day operations of the organization, as well as its long-term direction. An important duty of the executive director is to hire and manage staff. Currently, besides an executive director, SSDP has a deputy director, and two outreach directors. Ultimately, the SSDP staff exists to serve and represent SSDP’s chapters and activists. Click here to meet the SSDP staff and Board.
 
Amend The Rave Act
https://www.amendtheraveact.org/

This organization is attempting to remove the harm created by the legislation known as the "Rave Act"


What is the Rave Act?
The Reducing American’s Vulnerability to Ecstasy Act, or the RAVE Act, was first introduced by Senator Joseph Biden in 2002. Renamed the Illicit Drug Anti-Proliferation Act, it was passed by Congress the following year.

The RAVE Act expanded earlier “crack house” laws to include commercial venues, allowing business owners to be prosecuted if they “maintain a drug-involved premises.”

When originally passed, the Act gave law enforcement officials greater power to shut down underground dance parties when promoters were knowingly and intentionally encouraging the use of illicit drugs. However, its current language has created a more dangerous situation today by discouraging legitimate EDM concert and festival organizers from enacting common sense safety measures to protect their patrons. Providing free water and air-conditioned rooms, and allowing drug education and harm reduction services inside their events would save lives. Yet many event organizers are afraid that these actions could be seen as encouraging drug use and therefore subject them to criminal prosecution under the RAVE Act.

Help ensure that implementing basic public safety measures is no longer deterred by federal law

Contact NCHRC
email: [email protected] | phone: (336) 543-8050


NCHRC is North Carolina’s only comprehensive harm reduction program. NCHRC engages in grassroots advocacy, resource development, coalition building and direct services for law enforcement and those made vulnerable by drug use, sex work, overdose, immigration status, gender, STIs, HIV and hepatitis.

Our mission
Encourage and motivate the acceptance of harm reduction strategies in North Carolina through education, interventions, advocacy, and resource development.

Defining Harm Reduction

Harm Reduction...Emphasizes tolerance, respect for the personal choices of others and respect for human rights. It favors evidence over anecdote, courage over cowardice and doing what is right even if it seems to send the “wrong message.”

It means doing what has to be done to protect the public health in the face of opposition from all quarters because it is the right thing to do

NCHRC Vision

The key to bringing sex workers, crack smokers, injection drug users and others who engage in high-risk activities closer to prevention and health services is to treat every person, regardless of their circumstance or condition, with dignity and respect. NCHRC’s nonjudgmental approach allows our members to move through a process of self-discovery and self-empowerment at their own pace (this is based off the behavioral theory “stages of change”). By developing relationships based on honesty, community, tolerance and cooperation, our staff helps clients live healthier and more fulfilling lives, while raising the health index of the community.

Mission & Vision

We, the San Francisco Drug User's Union, adhere to the following vision:

To unite under a broad agenda based on the social, legal, health, and policy issues confronting drug users daily in San Francisco.

We, as drug users, former drug users and people who care about drug users, reject the victimization of people who use drugs and join in the spirit of other Drug User's Unions nationally and internationally.

After too many years of a failed “Drug War,” it is obvious to us that we need a new direction, and that the first step in setting that new direction is to include the voices of drug users!

We, the San Francisco Drug User's Union, unite under the following mission:

To decriminalize drugs and drug use;
To create a safe environment where people can use & enjoy drugs as well as receive services;
To promote a positive image of drug users to engender respect within our community and from outside our community;
To work towards access to better quality and safer drugs;
To ensure fair treatment by the law, by service providers, and by healthcare workers; and to advocate for more harm reduction-based services including counseling and overdose prevention.

While we work towards these goals, we continue to incorporate new issues that are of concern to San Francisco’s drug using community.

Voices Of Community Advocates & Leaders (VOCAL-NY)
http://www.vocal-ny.org

Phone: (718) 802-9540
Email: [email protected]
80-A Fourth Ave.
Brooklyn, NY 11217



Mission
Voices Of Community Advocates & Leaders (VOCAL-NY) is a statewide grassroots membership organization building power among low-income people affected by HIV/AIDS, the drug war and mass incarceration, along with the organizations that serve us, to create healthy and just communities. We accomplish this through community organizing, leadership development, public education, direct services, participatory research and direct action.

History

The New York City AIDS Housing Network (NYCAHN) became VOCAL-NY in fall 2010 to better reflect our multi-issue, multi-constituency organizing work in New York’s most marginalized communities. Our members also recognized that the issues and identities we organized around were interconnected and part of a broader movement for social justice. Today our community organizing seeks to end the HIV/AIDS and hepatitis C epidemics, war on drugs and mass incarceration, while creating more healthy and just communities and strengthening democratic participation in our society.

VOCAL-NY, then known as NYCAHN, was formed by a group of progressive AIDS housing providers in the mid-1990s. Jennifer Flynn was one of those providers and was hired as the first Coordinator of this new housing advocacy group when it was a project of the Supportive Housing Network of NY. Through the early involvement of Joe Bostic and Jose Capestany, two HIV and Hep C-positive injection drug users who were formerly incarcerated, VOCAL-NY immediately began focusing on community organizing and political education to build power among marginalized New Yorkers.

While many people believe that the HIV/AIDS crisis ended with the availability of breakthrough regimens of new medication in the mid-90s, the reality is that the epidemic was becoming more concentrated in low-income communities of color at a time when the safety net was being shredded, which made it difficult for many people living with HIV/AIDS to benefit from treatment advances. VOCAL-NY was formed during this time when attention slowly shifted to addressing the root causes of the domestic epidemic, like homelessness and incarceration, and our brand of direct action activism adapted many of the key strategies from the first wave of AIDS activism to deal with the challenges facing people living with HIV/AIDS in poor communities.

OCAL-NY became an independent organization in January of 1999 in order to fully commit to our vision of being led by the people who were directly affected, with Jennifer Flynn as the founding Executive Director. Our members always recognized that HIV/AIDS was not an isolated health issue but rather a symptom of injustices rooted in race, gender and economic inequalities. VOCAL-NY was honored by the Union Square Awards and recognized with a New York City Council Hero Award in 2002.

Drug User Activism - We Are The People
http://druguseractivism.org/

CONTACT US

In recent years active users of illegal drugs have banded together in several American cities to form unions and engage in organized activism. “We ARE the People” (WATP) introduces the five original user unions in the United States and demonstrates how the War on Drugs is in actuality a War on People. The film explores the harms associated with, and stigma behind, many of the terms often used to describe people who use illegal drugs, including “drug abuser,” “addict,” “drug misuser,” etc. WATP also illustrates some of the ways that drug user unions not only provide support for their members but also actively fight against the stigma associated with drug use, and the war on drugs that sustains it.

“We ARE the People” features the leaders and supporters of this new American movement as they aspire to transform the dominant cultural perspective that shapes what it means to be a user of illegal drugs in the United States. This past autumn the original five drug user unions in the U.S. convened at the International Drug Policy Reform conference in Denver, Colorado. “We Are the People” gives the viewer a peek into this historic meeting in which the five unions formed a national federation: The United States Alliance of Drug User Unions (USADUU).

Drogart

Based in Slovenia, Europe

The Association DrogArt is a non-profit, non-governmental organization which works in the field of drug and alcohol related harm reduction among young people. Since 1999 we encourage innovative youth projects and the use of new media in the prevention work with young people. We endeavour to actively include young people in our projects and activities, so that we plan, evaluate and learn together.

International projects

Collaboration on national and international level is essential for learning, but also to plan and execute broader actions.

Achievements

› We have carried out four researches with the purpose of monitoring trends of drug use.
› We have distributed more than a million preventive materials.
› We counted more than 30 thousand visits in DrogArt Info point.
› Our outreach workers in Dance smart ;) project have worked on more than 250 parties in Slovenia.
› We have offered direct first aid more than a thousand times.
› On our educational program for outreach workers we have educated more than 330 young people.
› We have included more than 4000 pupils from Slovene schools in our Choose yourself workshops.

From 1999 our programs were co-financed by:

Town municipality of Ljubljana
Ministry of labour, family, social affairs and equal opportunities
Ministry of health
Ministry of education and sport
Ministry of transport
Office of youth
Foundation FIHO
European Commission and Programe PHARE
Open Society Institute
other sponsors and donators

Our programs

Dance smart ;)

DrogArt outreach workers are present at clubs and larger electronic music events in Slovenia. Trained peer workers, who offer basic first aid to users that encounter problems connected with drug use, form the team. Our outreach workers provide basic first aid, distribute preventive materials, fruit and refreshing drinks to partygoers and offer them advice on how to party with less risk.

Info Point

Our Info Point in Ljubljana offers visitors a variety of information from different fields of interest of young people. People can also engage in different workshops (such as DJ or photography) and other activities.

Choose yourself

Choose yourself focuses on the most popular drug in Slovenia – alcohol. The aim of the action is harm reduction of alcohol use among young people. We want to encourage youngsters to make more responsible and informed choices which present less risk. The activities that support these aims are informing through leaflets, field work (clubs, open public spaces, music events etc.), publications, web page and social networks, counselling, workshops, parents and teachers.

Don’t blow it

As an answer to an increasing use of cocaine in Slovenia we developed a new project in 2007 – Don’t blow it. It targets recreational and regular users as well as the interested public. With our contents and activities we want to offer reliable information on cocaine and the risks connected to its use.

After taxi

With the aim of reducing the number of deaths on the road related to alcohol use we encourage young people to use taxis instead of driving if they have been drinking.

Counselling

We offer personal, telephonic and internet counselling to young people that encounter problems related to alcohol or illicit drug use, to their parents and friends. It is free and anonymous.

PASS– help and anonymous counseling on the internet is an innovative project that gives drug users an internet and mobile application to tackle their problems with drug use that they can use independently or with the help of a counselor. We also aim to give more information on alcohol and other drugs to interested people by establishing a wide e-library on the topic.

Research work and publishing

We realize how important it is to keep in touch with the users and trends on drug use. Besides the personal approach that is established with users through field work, we carry out different research projects that help us follow the changes in drug and alcohol use among young people. This gives us a good foundation for fast and appropriate actions.
Findings and conclusions from four different research projects on synthetic drugs and alcohol are available in numerous books, manuals and other publications.

We have also started to put effort in creating a database of verified reagent reactions, mostly for newer RC's.

So i would love to invite anyone who is conducting similar projects to contact us, so we can share experience :)

Tailored Solutions to Achieve Personal Goals
The Center, founded by leaders in the Harm Reduction Therapy movement, is a certified drug and alcohol treatment program staffed by mental health professionals. Our program offers pragmatic, proven solutions to substance abuse, and has an impressive record of positive results.

Harm Reduction Therapy is a revolutionary client-therapist collaboration that combines substance abuse treatment with psychotherapy, so clients can address both their substance use and the issues that are behind it.

Unlike traditional “quit now and forever” programs, we do not ask that clients stop all substance use, unless that is their goal, and we help families find alternatives to “tough love.” The therapist helps the client to lay out, clearly and honestly, the harm being done to themselves and to others. The client, or the client and family together, choose the most urgent issues on which to focus. Together, client and therapist then work to reduce the harm that is being done, establishing goals and implementing gradual, realistic steps to achieve them.

At the Center, we work with the whole person. Drug and alcohol problems are addressed alongside other social, emotional, health and occupational concerns.

Our Program

-Comprehensive assessment of substance use, emotional or psychiatric, social and vocational issues
-Brief educational group to orient new clients to the harm reduction model
-Individual therapy centered on collaboratively developed goals
-Trauma-specific treatments
-Group therapy (optional)
-Medication-assisted treatment: psychiatric and addiction medicine, including opiate replacement therapy

The Mission of Boulder County AIDS Project (BCAP) is twofold:
to provide support, advocacy and education to those in our community who are infected with or affected by the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and to serve as an outreach and information center to prevent further transmission of HIV and the resulting Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS).

Until there is a cure, BCAP works to improve the lives of people living with HIV and AIDS, minimize HIV transmission, and bring an end to HIV-related stigma in our community.

BCAP provides vital care services to over 230 people in Boulder, Broomfield, Gilpin, and Clear Creek counties who are living with HIV/AIDS. We offer medical and bi-lingual case management, insurance assistance, financial support, pro bono professional services such as legal aid, and nutritional support through our on-site food pantry. We also offer innovative prevention and outreach programs to Boulder’s most at-risk populations, to reduce the spread of HIV.
