Why give?
Because communities are fighting back — and they need us beside them
For over a decade, the Support. Don’t Punish campaign has stood with people on the frontlines of the ‘war on drugs’ in more than 120 countries. Today, this work is more urgent than ever.
Public funding for harm reduction is collapsing, sacrificed to the drums of war. Civic space is shrinking. Punitive drug policies fuel violence, corruption and the accumulation of unaccountable power. Health, dignity and safety are on the line.
And yet thousands continue to build a different path, brick by brick.
- They use mural art and street theatre to reclaim public space.
- They host vigils and workshops to keep their communities safe.
- They convene community assemblies and policy dialogues that build bridges at every level.
- They share skills, train new leaders and build alliances that protect rights with courage and care.

Support. Don’t Punish campaigners have developed the world’s largest coordinated call for kinder approaches to drug policy — centring lived and living experience, and powered from the ground up.
Your support helps them stay resilient — and win.

Even small monthly gifts — the cost of a cup of coffee or a meal — make a big difference to community networks, youth groups, feminist collectives, Indigenous coalitions, and grassroots campaigners organising under pressure. These groups often work on small budgets, but their impact is huge.

All contributions go directly to grassroots campaigners, primarily in the Global South, resisting repression and building safer, kinder, fairer responses to drugs.
This movement needs your support.
