Reason Writers Around the Country: Radley Balko Speaking at Netroots

On Friday, Reason senior editor Radley Balko will give the libertarian perspective on a panel about the drug war and law enforcement at this years Netroots Nation conference in Pittsburgh. Details:

Establishment support for the drug war is eroding on the left and the right. On the left, the Netroots has pushed liberals to reconsider hardline policies forged in the '80s. On the right, a shrinking Republican party is returning to small government roots. On the ground, cities such as High Point, N.C. are experimenting with pragmatic approaches. What will a new drug policy look like, and how can the Netroots help bring it about? This panel addresses it from four perspectives: academic, liberal, libertarian and law enforcement, highlighting the unusual new political convergence.
