About Drug Policy Alliance

The Drug Policy Alliance (DPA) is a national nonprofit organization that addresses the harms of drug use and drug criminalization through policy solutions, organizing, and public education. DPA advocates for a holistic, evidence-based approach to drug regulation that prioritizes health, social supports, community wellbeing, and human rights, while opposing punitive drug war policies. The organization works across multiple issue areas including immigration, family policing, education, reproductive justice, and housing to build power across movements and advance policy change at local, state, and federal levels. With 40 staff members, a $12 million annual operating budget, and 200,000 members and supporters, DPA has a solid track record of legislative success and prominent visibility in media and policy circles.
