Advocate

STAND members encourage elected officials that there is an anti-drug constituency in every state, a constituency that will provide compelling reasons why the preservation of our nation’s drug policy needs to be upheld and affirm that elected officials be accountable for protecting their citizens from the slavery of addiction. Keeping our families and our society safe from addiction and its costs is worth standing for.
