Earlier this month, on Friday the 7th, Maine DSA Drug Policy Subcommittee hosted an educational event about current efforts to decriminalize all drugs in the State of Maine. The event included a screening of the movie “The House I Live In” as well as a panel of activists, policy experts, and people with lived experiences to discuss the film and how the war on drugs has impacted Maine. They also provided information on two key bills in the state legislature, LD 967 “An Act To Make Possession of Scheduled Drugs for Personal Use a Civil Penalty” and LD 994 “An Act To Promote Public Health by Eliminating Criminal Penalties for Possession of Hypodermic Apparatuses”, as well as a future event on writing public testimony and op-eds. The event will take place on April 9th at 6pm until 8:30pm. We hope to see you there!

The session was recorded and today, we will be bringing you part two of the discussion between Davey and Craig of the Maine DSA Drug Policy Subcommittee, as they address questions from Maine DSA members following the event. Part 1 aired Friday, April 30th, 2021.
