MOMS UNITE TO END WAR ON DRUGS!

Please join us in a rally & vigil sponsored by A New PATH (Parents for Addiction Treatment & Healing) San Diego Central Courthouse Steps 220 West Broadway San Diego, CA 92101 April 28, 2010 at 6pm April 2010 marks the anniversary of 11 years of A New PATH’s advocacy work for therapeutic drug policies. This event will launch a campaign to stop the violence, mass incarceration and overdose deaths resulting from our current punitive and discriminatory drug policies. The vigil will acknowledge those who have lost their lives or liberty to the failed “War on Drugs”. A New PATH is partnering with other organizations such as Families ACT! and Broken No More, as well as individuals from various areas of California in a massive collaborative effort to change our current policies of arrest and imprisonment to therapeutic strategies and regulation. Mothers are leading the charge to stop the pointless and punitive incarceration of drug users, and to end the needless deaths created by the illegal drug trade. Please bring signs and pictures of your loved ones whose lives have been damaged by the War on Drugs and join us in demonstrating for change.

PATH’s goal is to reduce crime and recidivism, save lives, heal families and to move toward a healthier society. September is National Alcohol & Drug Addiction Recovery Month, so our event will coincide with efforts made throughout the country to end discrimination against individuals who suffer from the disease of addiction. September 19 is national Rally for Recovery Day. A New PATH is an organization of parents, concerned citizens and community leaders working together to reduce the stigma of substance abuse and addiction in order to increase access to treatment services, and to advocate for “therapeutic justice” for substance abuse related crimes. Our programs include the book club behind bars, the Faces of Recovery Calendar, quarterly newsletters, educational seminars, recovery awareness events, Parent Survival Kits, etc. The day will include a silent auction, boutique, luncheon, fashion show and awards ceremony. Individuals will be honored for their contributions to reduce the stigma of addiction with “Path to Recovery” awards. The professional fashion show, produced by Gretchen Productions will feature Fall 2009 fashions from Macy’s North County, worn by professional models as well as individuals in recovery (to recognize and celebrate the transformations they are making in their lives).
