Mission Statement

The Abolish the Drug War NJ Coalition aims to stop criminalizing Black and Brown people in New Jersey for drug possession and use. We believe drug use is a health issue, not a criminal justice issue. We are working to:

1. Decriminalize: Decriminalize all drugs and stop locking people up for using them.
2. Decarcerate: Let people out and stop locking them up for selling drugs.
3. Divert/Invest: Put money into harm reduction approaches."
