The MexicoBlog of the Americas Program, a fiscally sponsored program of the Center for Economic and Policy Research (CEPR), is written by Laura Carlsen. I monitor and analyze international press on Mexico, with a focus on security, immigration, human rights and social movements for peace and justice, from a feminist perspective. And sometimes I simply muse.

The 40-Year War on Drugs: It's Not Fair, and It's Not Working.
The 40-Year War on Drugs: It's Not Fair, and It's Not Working. » Blog of Rights: Official Blog of the American Civil Liberties Union: "June 2011 has the unfortunate distinction of marking the 40th anniversary of President Richard Nixon's declaration of a 'war on drugs' — a war which has cost $1 trillion but produced little to no effect on the supply of or demand for drugs. ...
To reflect on the dubious occasion of the 40th anniversary of the drug war, and underscore the wide-reaching and devastating impact of drug policies over the last four decades, the ACLU is launching a month-long blog series dedicated to the need to end the war on drugs. Check back daily throughout June for posts about the drug war, its victims and what needs to be done to restore fairness and create effective policy."
