As community organizations, activists, and coalitions continue to dismantle the failed regime of drug prohibition, jurisdiction by jurisdiction, substance by substance, we explore possibilities and problems posed by this new terrain.

People of Color Psychedelic Collective invite you to join us to explore drug policy challenges and prosocial applications of banned substances.

This event will include an inspiring Blackadelic musical performance, and a panel discussion featuring leading policy advocates and community health leaders, followed by a dance party and social. We will engage the urgent topic of what work remains and what work will become possible after the war on drugs.

The Blue Gallery is not 100% wheelchair accessible, the entrance is wheelchair accessible but there are two small steps in a few of the rooms throughout.

Masks are required.

We aim to make this event affordable which is why we have various pricing levels. If you have questions, please email hello@pocpsychedelics.com
