America's "War on Drugs"
Podcast: Civics 101Published On: Tue Jul 11 2023
Description: You probably associate the so-called "War on Drugs" with the Reagans. Or maybe, more correctly, with the Nixon administration. But the government's anti-drug policies started decades before that.And, as we discuss in this week's episode, those policies were often motivated by things other than public health and safety. Instead, they targeted - and continue to target - immigrants and communities of color. This episode digs into the history of America's War on Drugs, featuring guests Jason Ruiz and Yasser Arafat Payne. MAKE A DONATION TO SUPPORT OUR WORK!
