A Message to the United States

To the men and women of the United States:

More than 40 years ago, U.S. president Richard Nixon announced the war on drugs. Since then, the consumption of illicit subsistences has grown, not diminished.

Mexican president Felipe Calderón’s war on drug trafficking organizations has gone on for more than 5 years, and it has come at a very high cost. More than 60,000 people have already been killed, a growing number of them being innocent civilians.

Please watch this video and think about the role the United States plays in this bloody drug war as both the largest drug consumer in the world and as lead force behind this militarized approach.
