What is The November Coalition?

We are people like you all over the world who condemn drug prohibition laws and oppose U.S. Drug War policies. We are prisoners and parents of those incarcerated; we are wives, sisters, brothers, children, aunts, uncles and cousins. We're friends of prisoners, legal professionals and concerned individuals, too. All across this land of America, we're anyone sick and tired of conflicted and ineffective illegal-drug laws; repressive legislation that long ago needed reexamination and redirection by national and international officials.

The November Coalition was founded in 1997 as a non-profit, grassroots organization with a mission to raise awareness in individuals and communities. There is a spiraling increase in numbers of imprisoned in the United States due to drug-law enforcement.

We arouse and activate fellow taxpayers about existing and impending dangers of an overly powerful federal government acting beyond constitutional constraints. We counsel victims of this peculiar 'war,' most of whom were minor participants, and warn our fellow citizens of the steady erosion of civil liberties, human rights and personal freedoms allowed by federal and state authorities.

Coalition members and supporters are convinced that the War on Drugs does nothing but stimulate an ever more profitable and violent underground economy. The intent of any law should create a safer country and safer world, not one more costly and less free.
