\u201c50 years. That\u2019s how long our government has waged a war\u2014not on drugs, but on people.\n\nI\u2019m proud to partner with @RepBonnie in introducing the Drug Policy Reform Act to end criminal penalties for drug possession at the federal level and repair harm in Black and brown communities.\u201d— Congresswoman Cori Bush (@Congresswoman Cori Bush) 1623774920
\u201cWe need a new approach; one that recognizes that we need not lock people away. \n\nThose that are struggling with drugs should be handled by doctors and counselors, not judges and jailers.\n\n#DrugPolicyReformAct\u201d— Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman (@Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman) 1623770925
"We will not be subjugated any longer by an offensive that was created solely with the purpose of 'disrupting' our communities. This bill gives us a way out--a chance to reimagine what the next 50 years can be. It allows us to offer people support instead of punishment." --Queen Adesuyi
Donald Trump’s attacks on democracy, justice, and a free press are escalating — putting everything we stand for at risk. We believe a better world is possible, but we can’t get there without your support. Common Dreams stands apart. We answer only to you — our readers, activists, and changemakers — not to billionaires or corporations. Our independence allows us to cover the vital stories that others won’t, spotlighting movements for peace, equality, and human rights. Right now, our work faces unprecedented challenges. Misinformation is spreading, journalists are under attack, and financial pressures are mounting. As a reader-supported, nonprofit newsroom, your support is crucial to keep this journalism alive. Whatever you can give — $10, $25, or $100 — helps us stay strong and responsive when the world needs us most. Together, we’ll continue to build the independent, courageous journalism our movement relies on. Thank you for being part of this community. |
