Policy/Activism Resource Compendium

Welcome to the Policy and Activism Resource Compendium. This is a one-stop spot for threads offering resources for learning about drug policy to understand the ongoing debate, to learn how to take part in that debate, influence policy and make a change. This is to create a centralized location for finding relevant threads on policy and activism.

These are simply some of the threads that look especially helpful to me in understanding and taking part in this important issue. If you would like to add other threads to this compendium please do so--it would be much appreciated--along with a brief description of the thread's contents. Links to other sites are best posted within the appropriate thread, or if it does not fit into an existing thread go ahead and add it here. If you know of a relevant upcoming event please create a thread about it and provide a link here and be sure to add it to the calendar.
Thanks,
h.a.
