In the first event of our Social Justice Series, we take a look at the impact the War on Drugs has had on our society, then discuss ways we can reverse the damage and overhaul a system that infringes on personal liberties, exploits people of color, and treats drug abuse as a crime rather than a health issue.
The discussion, including members of our community impacted by recent drug policies and those working to reverse them, will be followed by a call to action where you can learn how to get involved in reducing the harm perpetuated by the War on Drugs.
GUEST SPEAKERS:
Kayvan Khalatbari – Denver Mayoral Candidate
