ERA (Ending the War on Drugs)

ERA, or Ending the War on Drugs, is a movement advocating for a fundamental shift in drug policy. It calls for replacing strict criminalization and punitive measures with approaches centered on public health, prevention, education, and treatment. The goal is to reduce the harms associated with drug addiction, decrease incarceration rates for non-violent offenses, and address systemic issues like racial disparities. ERA emphasizes evidence-based strategies to manage drug issues more humanely and effectively, recognizing addiction as a health issue rather than solely a criminal one.
