The Petition

Crystal meth is destroying our community; every day, we see many of our brothers and sisters becoming addicted. We learn of too many people becoming HIV positive because of their crystal methamphetamine use. As a community, we can no longer let meth continue to devastate our families, friends and neighbors. We can’t continue to lose our loved ones to meth.

We call upon our politicians, bureaucrats, community leaders and brothers and sisters to join us in our fight against crystal meth. Let’s take back our community and our lives.

 
Our Demands
  1. Create and expand state and federal programs to educate health care professionals to identify, educate and treat methamphetamine addiction.
  2. Coordinate and integrate meth prevention, educational and treatment strategies among local, state and federal HIV/AIDS, sexually transmitted disease, substance abuse, and mental health programs.
  3. Fully fund awareness, educational, prevention and treatment efforts.
  4. Fund message/intervention research and development of effective social marketing campaigns to reach at-risk populations.
  5. Require large-scale social events, such as circuit parties and community events, to provide methamphetamine education or prevention.
  6. Declare a public health state of emergency in the county of Los Angeles.
