The Global Days Against the Drug War is an international series of events to be held June 5-10 in response to the United Nations Special Session on Narcotics. As of this writing, forty separate events are planned, meaning there's likely to be one in a city near you. We urge you to participate and to make the Global Days a turning point in the international debate over an increasingly global and militaristic Drug War. For those who have asked about the New York event, there will not be a demonstration at the UN due to several logistical and strategic factors. But there will be a large demonstration in favor of syringe exchange taking place at Bryant Park (42nd and 6th) at 5 PM on Monday, June 8th. This event is not yet officially part of the Global Days, although that may change. Further announcements may be forthcoming. Events in cities other than New York, however, are all of the public-attendance variety! Event and contact information, as well as the Declaration (please sign it, if you haven't already) can be found at http://www.stopthedrugwar.org/globalcoalition/. Participating cities include: Alsfeld, Amsterdam, Auckland, Berlin, Bonn, Brussels, Christchurch, Colville, Dallas, Dunedin, Eugene, Hamburg, Houston, Ilmenau, Jena, London, Los Angeles, Madrid, Munich, New Orleans, Paris, Rome, Salt Lake City, San Francisco, Schengen, Seattle, Sidney, Stockholm, Tallinn, Tel Aviv, Trier, Tuscon, Washington, Wellington, and Winnipeg.
