Tri-State Drug Policy Forum
events for Oct. 29, Oct. 30
This Journey for Justice springs from the
extreme need and aspirations of thousands of drug war prisoners
and their loved ones victimized by unjust drug and sentencing
laws. We journey for justice to fortify resolve, awaken the dignity
of ordinary people assaulted daily by a drug war that isn't a
war on drugs - but a war on people.

Journey for Justice events will include meetings
in urban areas, small towns; forums, radio and TV shows, demonstrations,
'camp meetings' near federal prisons, and more. Organizers have
been coached to be creative. The journey will allow November Coalition
members, reform activists and the general public to meet Nora
Callahan and Chuck Armsbury of November Coalition, Kevin Zeese
of Common Sense for Drug Policy, and others. More importantly
than that, people in the same geographical regions will meet each
other.
Hope to see you all there!
