WE ADVOCATE FOR A HOLISTIC APPROACH TO DRUGS THAT PRIORITIZES HEALTH, SOCIAL SUPPORTS, AND COMMUNITY WELLBEING. WE OPPOSE PUNITIVE APPROACHES THAT DESTABILIZE PEOPLE, BLOCK ACCESS TO CARE, AND DRAIN COMMUNITIES OF RESOURCES. WE BELIEVE THAT THE REGULATION OF DRUGS SHOULD BE GROUNDED IN EVIDENCE, HEALTH, EQUITY, AND HUMAN RIGHTS. IN COLLABORATION WITH OTHER MOVEMENTS, WE CHANGE LAWS, ADVANCE JUSTICE, AND SAVE LIVES. 13 13 60 14 0 0 10435208 12139492 0 996710 20090 42212 154433 31656 10609731 13210070 485907 540219 0 0 5924309 6521159 407248 354638 1506776 3772126 5696980 10589590 13112996 20141 97074 20573986 19939245 4672273 3924293 15901713 16014952 X WE DESERVE TO LEAD OUR LIVES WITH DIGNITY, WITHIN WHOLE COMMUNITIES, WITH COMPASSION AND SUPPORT IN OUR TIMES OF NEED, WITHOUT THREAT OR VIOLENCE REGARDLESS OF WHO WE ARE AND WHETHER OR NOT WE USE DRUGS.

AS A RESULT, DRUG POSSESSION IS THE MOST ARRESTED OFFENSE IN THE UNITED STATES WHILE OVERDOSE IS THE LEADING CAUSE OF ACCIDENTAL DEATH. DPA SEEKS TO EXPAND ACCESS TO HEALTH AND HARM REDUCTION SERVICES, AND TO REDUCE CRIMINAL PENALTIES FOR DRUGS. RECENT ACCOMPLISHMENTS INCLUDE: - PROMOTED OVERDOSE PREVENTION POLICIES IN NUMEROUS STATES - BLOCKED EFFORTS THAT WOULD HAVE CREATED NEW MANDATORY MINIMUMS SENTENCES FOR DRUGS AND EXPANDED MASS INCARCERATION- SECURED STATE AND FEDERAL FUNDING FOR HEALTH AND HARM REDUCTION SERVICES- PROVIDED TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE TO ALLIES IN MORE THAN A DOZEN STATES, WORKING ON OVERDOSE PREVENTION AND CRIMINAL LEGAL REFORM CAMPAIGNS- PRODUCED A NEW REPORT, "THE DRUG TREATMENT DEBATE: WHY ACCESSIBLE AND VOLUNTARY TREATMENT WINS OUT OVER FORCED" 3441577 0 0 ADVANCING EQUITY AND JUSTICE THROUGH MARIJUANA REGULATION:THE MOVEMENT FOR MARIJUANA LEGALIZATION HAS GROWN EXPONENTIALLY. BUT THIS PAST YEAR THERE WERE STILL MORE THAN 200,000 ARRESTS, AND THE COMMUNITIES THAT HAVE SUFFERED THE MOST UNDER DECADES OF PROHIBITION ARE NOT BENEFITING FROM THE LEGAL INDUSTRY AT THE SCALE NEEDED TO REPAIR THE HARMS. DPA SUPPORTS AN APPROACH TO LEGALIZATION THAT CENTERS COMMUNITY REINVESTMENT, RACIAL EQUITY, AND SOCIAL JUSTICE, AND REDUCES THE NEGATIVE IMPACTS OF THE COMMERCIAL MARKET. RECENT ACCOMPLISHMENTS INCLUDE:- INFLUENCED THE DEBATE ON DESCHEDULING CANNABIS ON THE FEDERAL LIST OF CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES AND ENDING PROHIBITION MORE BROADLY- DEFENDED EQUITY AND JUSTICE PROVISIONS OF STATE MARIJUANA LEGALIZATION LAWS 2427088 0 0 PROMOTING FAMILY SAFETY AND ECONOMIC SECURITY:THE DRUG WAR HAS CREPT INTO MANY ASPECTS OF OUR LIVES WELL BEYOND THE CRIMINAL LEGAL SYSTEM. SURVEILLANCE, NONCONSENSUAL DRUG TESTING, MANDATORY REPORTING, AND ZERO TOLERANCE SEPARATES FAMILIES, MAKES PEOPLE HOMELESS, AND FUELS INTERGENERATIONAL POVERTY. DPA SEEKS TO ELIMINATE THESE CIVIL PUNISHMENTS THAT CAUSE SO MUCH HARM AND HAVE NO GROUNDING IN EVIDENCE. RECENT ACCOMPLISHMENTS INCLUDE:- PROMOTED REFORMS TO THE FEDERAL POLICY THAN BANS PEOPLE WITH CERTAIN DRUG CONVICTIONS FROM ACCESSING FOOD STAMPS FOR THEMSELVES AND THEIR FAMILIES- EDUCATED POLICYMAKERS AND THE PUBLIC ABOUT THE NEED TO STOP NON-CONSENSUAL DRUG TESTING OF PREGNANT PEOPLE, NEW PARENTS, AND THEIR INFANTS, AND THE FAMILY SEPARATION THAT IT CAUSES - CO-PRODUCED WITH HUMAN RIGHTS WATCH A REPORT, "DISRUPT AND VILIFY: THE WAR ON IMMIGRANTS INSIDE THE U.S. WAR ON DRUGS," AS A COUNTER TO THE MISINFORMATION ABOUT MIGRANTS AND DRUGS 1491379 0 996710 OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES INCLUDE CONFERENCE:2023 INTERNATIONAL DRUG POLICY REFORM CONFERENCE AS PART OF OUR MOVEMENT-BUILD ROLE, DPA ORGANIZES AND HOSTS THE INTERNATIONAL DRUG POLICY REFORM CONFERENCE EVERY OTHER YEAR.

FORM 990, PART III, LINE 1, DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION MISSION: IT IS REALLY A WAR ON PEOPLE - BY DESIGN IT TARGETS THOSE WHO ARE BLACK, LATINE, INDIGENOUS, AND CASH-POOR. THIS MOMENT IS PIVOTAL. WE FACE THE INTERTWINED CRISES OF MASS CRIMINALIZATION AND AN ASTOUNDING RATE OF OVERDOSE DEATHS. THE MOVEMENTS FOR CRIMINAL LEGAL REFORM AND HARM REDUCTION HAVE MADE GREAT PROGRESS IN RECENT YEARS. BUT WE STILL NEED SUBSTANTIAL INVESTMENTS IN SYSTEMS OF CARE TO ADDRESS GENERATIONS OF RACISM AND NEGLECT. DPA HAS BEEN AT THE VANGUARD OF EVERY MAJOR POSITIVE EVOLUTION IN DRUG POLICY IN THE UNITED STATES IN THE PAST TWO DECADES. MANY OF OUR VICTORIES WERE THE FIRST OF THEIR KIND. HERE IS HOW OUR IMPACT EXCEEDS OUR SIZE: - LEADING CAMPAIGNS. WE DEVELOP AND RUN CAMPAIGNS BY CRAFTING POLICY PROPOSALS GROUNDED IN EVIDENCE, DEVELOPING POLITICAL AND COMMUNICATIONS STRATEGIES, EDUCATING AND PERSUADING POLICYMAKERS, BUILDING COALITIONS, AND MOBILIZING SUPPORTERS. - SUPPORTING GRASSROOTS LEADERSHIP. WE SUPPORT CAMPAIGNS LED BY OUR ALLIES, SHARING OUR EXPERTISE IN POLICY DRAFTING, DATA AND RESEARCH, POLITICAL STRATEGY AND ADVOCACY, AND MESSAGE DEVELOPMENT. - SHAPING THE CONVERSATION. WE COUNTER NARRATIVES THAT PERPETUATE HARM AND STIGMA AND PRODUCE CUTTING-EDGE ANALYSES IN PARTNERSHIP WITH RESEARCHERS TO EXPAND THE DRUG POLICY KNOWLEDGE BASE AND INFORM OUR AGENDA. - BUILDING THE MOVEMENT. WE SERVE AS THE CULTIVATOR AND CONVENER OF THE DRUG POLICY REFORM MOVEMENT, AND AS A CAPACITY-BUILDING HUB FOR OTHER JUSTICE MOVEMENTS WHOSE ISSUES INTERSECT WITH THE DRUG WAR. WE FORGE DEEP AND LASTING PARTNERSHIPS WITH ALLIED ORGANIZATIONS, AND SEEK TO BUILD POWER AMONG GROUPS ORGANIZING WITH PEOPLE WHO USE DRUGS AND THOSE MOST IMPACTED BY RACIST DRUG POLICIES. FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 11B DPA ENGAGES AN ACCOUNTING FIRM TO PREPARE THE FORM 990. OUR CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER PROVIDES A FIRST REVIEW WITH INPUT FROM OTHER STAFF, THEN THE BOARD OF DIRECTOR'S AUDIT & FINANCE COMMITTEE REVIEWS THE DRAFT AND DPA STAFF, WITH SUPPORT FROM THE ACCOUNTING FIRM, ANSWERS ANY QUESTIONS. AFTER FINALIZING, THE FINANCE & AUDIT COMMITTEE APPROVES THE 990 AND IT IS PRESENTED TO THE FULL BOARD BEFORE FILING, AFTER WHICH WE FILE THE DOCUMENT WITH THE IRS. FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 12C DPA HAS A CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY THAT APPLIES TO BOARD MEMBERS AND OFFICERS. EACH BOARD MEMBER AND OFFICER MUST ANNUALLY SIGN AND SUBMIT TO THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR A STATEMENT DISCLOSING THEIR AWARENESS OF THE POLICY AND DISCLOSING ANY POTENTIAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST. IF A POTENTIAL OR ACTUAL CONFLICT IS DISCLOSED AT ANY TIME, THE AUDIT & FINANCE COMMITTEE REVIEWS THE MATERIAL FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES. IF IT IS ESTABLISHED THAT AN ACTUAL CONFLICT EXISTS, THE INDIVIDUAL WILL BE NOTIFIED IMMEDIATELY AND WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO VOTE OR BE A PART OF ANY DISCUSSIONS ABOUT ANY SUCH TRANSACTIONS THAT HAVE TO DO WITH THE CONFLICT UNTIL THE CONFLICT IS RESOLVED. AT THE REQUEST OF THE AUDIT & FINANCE COMMITTEE, THE INTERESTED PERSON MAY PROVIDE INFORMATION REGARDING THE TRANSACTION PRIOR TO THE DELIBERATIONS OF THE BOARD. ANY DISCUSSION REGARDING THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST TRANSACTION IS DOCUMENTED IN THE MINUTES OF THE BOARD MEETINGS, REFLECTING THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST THAT WAS DISCLOSED, THE NAME OF THE INTERESTED PERSON, AND THE FINAL DETERMINATION AND DECISION.
