Assignment:
You have learned about a number of different U.S. addiction policies throughout this course. Unfortunately, many of these policies have contributed to racial, social, economic, and health inequities in the U.S. For this discussion post, please: (a) pick one U.S. addiction policy that you have learned about in this course and (b) apply the 4 A's of the Liberatory Consciousness Framework by answering the following questions:
1. Awareness: What populations are being positively impacted by this policy (i.e. receiving the benefits)? How? What populations are being negatively impacted by this policy (i.e. not receiving the benefits or experiencing negative consequences)? How?
2. Analysis: Why do you think some populations are benefiting from this policy, while others are being negatively impacted by it?
3. Action: How would this policy need to be changed in order to reduce the racial, social, economic, and health inequities that result from it? How could you advocate for this?
4. Allyship/Accountability: What steps could you take to be an ally to populations that are negatively impacted by this policy?
