Sanho Tree is a director of the Drug policy Project at the institute for Policy Studies in Washington D.C. The Project works to end the domestic and international "War on Drugs" and replace it with policies that promote public health and safety as well as economic alternatives to the prohibition drug economy. the intersection of race and poverty in the drug war is at the heart of the project's work. In recent years the project has focused on US drug war in Columbia and it attendant "Collateral Damage". Establishing humane and sustainable alternatives to the drug war fits into the IPS mandate as one of the major contemporary social justice issues at home and abroad.
