"Support. Don't Punish 2023" is here!

21/06/2023| Publications / Events

‘Support. Don't Punish’ is a global awareness campaign advocating for health and human rights-based drug policies, which is celebrated every year around 26 June.

Thousands of people and organisations who are building sustainable alternatives to the war on drugs will be calling for an end to prohibition, stigma and criminalisation of people who use drugs. As in past years, we expect our efforts to shine in more than 200 cities of more than 80 countries around the world!

This year in Catalonia we have prepared two days of #SupportDontPunish:
