Reformist Reforms vs. Abolitionist Steps to End the Drug War

This resource was created by Interrupting Criminalization, Drug Policy Alliance, and In Our Names Network.

These charts break down the difference between reformist reforms which continue or expand the reach of the drug war, and abolitionist steps that work to chip away and reduce its overall impact. As we struggle to decrease the power of the drug war, there are also positive and pro-active investments we can make in community health and well-being.
