A National Movement for Drug Law Reform
Published March 30, 2009 @ 04:45AM PT
Last week, hundreds of New Yorkers gathered outside the governor's office to call on our representatives in Albany to finalize the proposed Rockefeller drug law reforms. Watch the video above - the energy and drive of the people to reform destructive drug laws around the country is obvious.
All signs say that the pending reforms will be finalized this week. We have achieved a great victory for the people of New York and are inspired by the courageous leadership of Governor Paterson, Senator Smith and Assemblyman Silver. However, we must now go to work around the country to end the unjust drug laws in numerous other states and on the federal level.
Let's work together to change the direction in this country for a more just and fair judicial system.
