CCRP v War on Drugs
President Richard Nixon announced the federal War on Drugs in 1971, which established harsher penalties for drug possession and increased government spending on law enforcement. Primarily considered a policy failure, the War on Drugs caused a 500% increase in drug-related convictions across the country.
Let's fast forward to the present day. On May 9, 2024, the Washington State Department of Commerce @wastatecommerce announced its plan to deliver $9.8 million in grants to 28 local organizations and institutions. These grants prioritize financial programs serving Black, Latino, and tribal communities that were disproportionately impacted by the War on Drugs. Some programs offered include homebuyer education, business coaching, construction loans, and debt remediation.
