    Petition on the War on Drugs

    November 29, 2011

    Forty years after President Richard M. Nixon declared a “War on Drugs” under the guise of halting trafficking in drugs in the United States,the evidence is clear: The War on Drugs has been a “war on us,” a politically motivated, racially biased strategy which has disproportionately targeted African Americans and other people of color.
