Last Thursday, OSI’s Addiction and Health Equity and Criminal and Juvenile Justice programs hosted a forum on Building Power Within a Statewide Coalition with DaMareo Cooper of the Ohio Organizing Collaborative, which led the effort to pass “Ohio Issue 1,” a ballot initiative to reduce drug possession offenses to misdemeanors and reallocate criminal justice savings to substance use treatment.
Scott Nolen, director of OSI’s Addiction and Health Equity program, facilitated the conversation, which was a follow-up to our recent conversation with Portugal’s Drug Czar Dr. João Goulão.
