Shifting norms and building community to forge a new social contract for a humane future
Wherever you are
Joined February 2022
Yes! Even within incarceration, health, and decriminalization we found the data to be disconnected. It took us months to get it all in one place, now available for others to download too: https://t.co/0AXGwV9Vem And that’s still just a slice of the pie! #reform2023 #NoMoreDrugWar

An in-depth exploration of the US Drug War and its profound impact on society.
There is a need to talk about incarceration, health problems, immigration and decriminalization of all drugs NOT just furthering the medicalization of psychedelics. The fight is over the model, We need better dialogue between the two movements. #reform2023

“If you can thrust all of these social ills onto this one group and drive them out, ‘Oh that’s going to cleanse our society somehow,’ and it’s not.” –@SanhoTree of Institute for Policy Studies #Reform2023 #NoMoreDrugWar Let's shift norms to humanization, connection, and support!

🔥 Rock bottom and punishment seem to be US's top answer for recovery. That's not working. We're glad there are so many at #Reform2023 working to create change and a more humane future! https://t.co/oyHxsxH2sB

Farmers are sacrificing profit in order to cultivate alternatives to coca. Where can people find these products for purchase? @dickinsonbeth any ideas? https://t.co/NDLZ9gGOGA

Who do you put first on your org's "about" page? The top implies importance whether we like it or not. And, there may even be gender or ethnic bias when we default to alphabetical order. So, what does one do to #sharepower? We make it random. https://t.co/dfrwQktULA

On #BlackFriday, I stand in solidarity with Amazon workers who are on strikes & walkouts all over the world. If Amazon can afford to pay its CEO $214 million, if Jeff Bezos can afford a $500 million yacht, Amazon can afford to give workers decent raises & end its union busting.

We can push back the boundaries of what the powerful insist is impossible. We can forge a new social contract. #newsocialcontract #thinkanddotank #dodifferent #newcoop #cooperative

We can prioritize quality over quantity. We can prioritize wellbeing over profits. Basic needs over luxury. Climate over capital. Public benefit over personal gain. Democratic participation over corporate control. Evidence over bullshit.
