Global Public Policy Forum on the War on Drugs

The City of Juarez has suffered from unprecedented violence as a result of warring drug cartels fighting for control of access to drug markets in the United States. Many citizens and organizations have been concerned about what the long term impact of this violence will be to the El Paso/Juarez region. As a result of these concerns and wanting to look for solutions that would protect our region from drug violence, we came together in two day conference examining the success and failures of current.
