DrugSense: Drug Law Reform - Why Donate to DrugSense?

YOU can play an important role in ending the War on Drugs by donating to DrugSense! Financial contributions from individuals like you make up a significant portion of our annual operating budget, so your donation really makes a difference!

Over the last ten years, DrugSense has developed a number of projects and services that have become a foundation for drug policy reform. From the DrugNews Archive that serves as both a drug policy research tool as well as an "early warning system" for activists and reformers, to Web-based services that enable even the poorest reform organization to get its progressive message out, DrugSense operates behind the scenes to keep the reform community and the public engaged in our collective mission: ending this failed and expensive War on Drugs.

Here are some of our activities your generous contribution supports:

Find, organize, and archive 175,000+ news articles on drug policy topics.
Maintain this fully searchable database of articles to benefit researchers, reporters, historians, and others interested in drug policy.
Organize a cadre of writers to respond to these articles with Letters-to-the-Editor and OpEds, which counter inaccuracies and fallacies.
Issue regular Focus Alerts to notify letter writers about particularly egregious or important articles.
Guarantee at least 20,000 of these letters are written and published in newspapers worldwide, representing more than $20 million of equivalent advertising value on behalf of reforming drug policy.
Publish a first rate electronic newsletter that encapsulates all major drug policy developments in the world during the week, replete with commentary, and distribute it to 30,000+ readers each week.
Assist grassroots organizations in securing radio and television interview opportunities by offering media training to local activists.
Provide technical support, Website development and hosting, e-mail discussion lists, and news feeds to more than 200 drug policy focused organizations worldwide.

Remember, it's not what others do, it's what YOU do. Please, make a difference in 2007!
