Bruce Vilanch Prove the War on Drugs Can Be a Laughing Matter! Monday, April 10: An Evening of Comedy and Music to Benefit the Drug Policy Alliance, A National Organization Promoting Drug Policies Grounded in Science, Compassion, Health and Human Rights
On April 10, entertainers and drug policy reformers will gather in Los Angeles to honor movement luminaries Jodie Evans, Arianna Huffington and Max Palevsky. Entertainment will include comedy and performances from Andy Dick, Jason Flom, Beth Lapides, Taylor Negron and Jill Sobule, with Bruce Vilanch as the master of ceremonies.
The policies associated with the drug war have had no impact on the availability of illegal drugs in the United States, and yet they are responsible for incarcerating 500,000 Americans for non-violent drug offenses: the U.S. locks up more people for drug offenses than all of Western Europe - with a hundred million more inhabitants - does for all criminal offenses combined.
The event will benefit the Drug Policy Alliance, the nation’s leading organization working to promote drug policies that are grounded in science, compassion, health and human rights. In California, The Alliance has been at the forefront of groundbreaking initiatives like treatment instead of incarceration (Prop 36), and medical marijuana (Prop 215).
Nothing highlights absurdity better than comedy, said Ethan Nadelmann, Executive Director of the Drug Policy Alliance. The drug war is so absurd that it’s hard to know whether to laugh or cry. April 10, we’ll be laughing.
Where: The Skirball Cultural Center, 2701 N. Sepulveda Blvd. Los Angeles, CA 90049
When: Monday, April 10, Cocktails 6 P.M., Dinner and Program 6:50 P.M.
For tickets and information please call (323) 314-7000 by April 1.
