CA voters can speak out for drug treatment

Election Day is around the corner and on November 4, California voters will decide whether to support an expansion of the state’s successful drug treatment diversion program.  Although Families Against Mandatory Minimums (FAMM) can't tell you how to vote, we wanted to share information about this important ballot measure with you. 
 
The Nonviolent Offender Rehabilitation Act of 2008 (NORA), would provide drug treatment diversion for adults; prison system and parole reforms and investment in youth programs. In addition, NORA earmarks $385 million annually for treatment and probation supervision for nonviolent drug offenders.

Further information about NORA is available from the Campaign for New Drug Policies on their website, www.NORAyes.com, or by calling (213) 382-6400 or emailing nora@drugpolicy.org.
