“Caravan for Peace, Life, and Justice” was an unprecedented mobilization of people that embarked on a journey through Central and North America to call attention to the multiple intersecting issues surrounding the global war on drugs. This initiative has created platforms for civil society actors to support victims of drugs and violence from Mexico, Honduras, El Salvador, Guatemala, Colombia, Canada, and the United States.
Organized by Global Exchange in collaboration with community activists and human rights organizations, the ultimate goal of this campaign was to accompany the victims to the UN General Assembly’s Special Session (UNGASS) on Drugs, to intervene and generate a debate at the international level to treat drug policy under a public health and scientific lens.
