Working to end drug war injustice, the November Coalition,
a non-profit grassroots organization, was founded in 1997.
Members educate the public about destructive, unnecessary
incarceration due to the U.S. drug war, and advocate for drug
war prisoners.
We rely on support from people like you - please join and
donate today.

a 'war' on drugs stimulates a violent, underground economy, an
economy which would collapse if drug prohibition ended. Our country
and our world should be safer, not simply less free.
Prisoners of the drug war share stories of injustice:
