The Drug Law Reform Project is a division of the national ACLU. Our goal is to end punitive drug policies that cause the widespread violation of constitutional and human rights, as well as unprecedented levels of incarceration.
Founded in 1998, the Project brings lawsuits throughout the country with lasting impact on public understanding of, and government response to, drug use and drug policies. The Project’s legal strategies are built on the idea that fighting for civil rights means more than just persuading judges. It means changing hearts and minds. We work on the frontlines with communities most affected by drugs and drug laws to integrate litigation with innovative public education campaigns and to develop tools to help these communities demand justice.
