On Thursday 26th June 2014, hundreds of activists in more than 50 cities around the world will make their voices heard as part of the global Support. Don't punish campaign – funded through the CAHR project.

Support. Don't punish is a global campaign calling for governments to put an end to the expensive and counter-productive war on drugs.
