Support Don't Punish: A Visionary Art Show


Tom's Daiquiri Palace

June 26th will be the United Nations International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking. Historically, this date has been used by governments to highlight their "success" in drug control through the highly punitive approach. 
The Global Day of Action seeks to reclaim and shift this narrative. Every year, on or around June 26th, an increasing number of activists all around the globe get together on this date to demand for more sensible drug policies and harm reduction. 

Support Don't Punish: A Visionary Art Show is our event dedicated to raising awareness for the necessity of ending the War on Drugs, supporting people who use drugs, and advocating for specific drug policy reforms in our community. This event will not only showcase some amazingly talented local artists and musicians but will also represent our community's solidarity with the Global Day of Action. 
On Wednesday, June 26th, from 6pm to 10pm at Tom's Daiquiri there will be musical performances by:- Got Trash? Band @ 8:30 - The Altitude @ 9:30
A live art performance by:- Michael Anthony Freeman (IG: muse_medium)
