Join Community Justice and Equity (CJaE) for a presentation, "The Communal Impacts of Drug Criminalization in Maryland," by Natalie Flath, Lawrence Grandpre, Judith Park, and Brook Kearley.
Thursday, April 27 | 12:15-1:45 p.m. EST (in-person in Room 2W11 and via Zoom)
Join CJaE for a discussion on a new research report that outlines the impacts of drug criminalization on community well-being in Baltimore. The research takes a participatory emancipatory stance as it is led by grassroots racial justice scholars who elevate community voices traditionally marginalized in drug policy spaces. As the country progresses with criminal legal reforms related to drugs, we hope the research shapes drug decriminalization dialogue and future decriminalization campaigns that undergird critical race consciousness for community reinvestments that address the harms of the War on Drugs.
