Too many people seeking life-saving treatment face barriers to getting the help they need. We spoke with Dr. Nabarun Dasgupta about how we need to expand telehealth, increase pharmacy access, reduce cost, and end stigma to reach more people.

The Drug Policy Alliance (DPA) addresses the harms of drug use and drug criminalization through policy solutions, organizing, and public education. We advocate for a holistic approach to drugs that prioritizes health, social supports, and community wellbeing. DPA opposes punitive approaches that destabilize people, block access to care, and drain communities of resources. We believe that the regulation of drugs should be grounded in evidence, health, equity, and human rights. In collaboration with other movements, we change laws, advance justice, and save lives.
