About the November Coalition (pdf)

Prisoner Re-Entry Reform (pdf)

30 Unintended Consequences of the War on Drugs (pdf)

Know Your Rights - from Washington State ACLU (pdf)

Note: PDF format documents require the free Adobe Acrobat Reader, available here.

These Factsheets can be used to mail with your public event notices, to hand out at meetings, or give to passers-by if you have a public demonstration.

Surprisingly, it's known that people will read an 8" x 11" sheet of paper with text faster than they will a brochure. So, save money and use Factsheets for presenting to your group, and your messages to the public.

If you have an idea for a Factsheet, email it to: webmaster©november.org
