Throwing a monkeywrench in drug war strategies: How to use their money and data to build and support your anti-drug war program

Throwing a Monkeywrench at the Drug War: How to Use Their Money and Data to Support Your Anti-Drug War Program
San Gabriel B, Lobby Level
As states dramatically slash budgets, promising opportunities are emerging to expose – and to even end – drug war waste. Drawing on lessons from Baltimore, California and New York, participants will learn about data- and information-gathering tools and lay out a step-by-step plan for redirecting drug war dollars (i.e., Byrne Grants) away from drug arrest programs at the local and/or state level.

Presenters:

• Lori Albin, Director, Fiscal Policy Center, National Juvenile Justice Network, Washington DC    
• Margaret Dooley-Sammuli, Deputy State Director, Southern California, Drug Policy Alliance
