C2PAN — Colorado Peer Policy Action Network
Peer-led drug policy advocacy in Colorado jails.
The Colorado Peer Policy Action Network (C2PAN) is a peer-led network that brings the expertise of people with lived and living experience of drug use and incarceration into Colorado drug policy. C2PAN organizes peers, conducts education and storytelling inside Colorado jails, and partners with coalitions to advance evidence-based, anti-carceral policy at the state Capitol.
I'm a co-founder of C2PAN and help lead our jail presentations, peer training, and advocacy work. A growing archive of our Colorado jail presentation materials is available here:
