Kat Brady serves as Coordinator of the Community Alliance on Prisons, a
community initiative working on developing effective interventions for
Hawaii’s offenders and to improve the quality of justice in Hawaii. She
is the only community member of the Judiciary Intermediate Sanctions
Working Group and is a justice advocate who is activity engaged in
bringing the community voice into venues where it has rarely been
heard. She also works to increase public participation into reforming
public policy. Her areas of focus include environmental, cultural,
gender, juvenile and social justice issues.
"Reaching the New Untouchables:
Women Who Use Drugs" will be the keynote talk Wednesday at the
annual dinner meeting of the Drug Policy Forum of Hawaii (2006).
Corinne Carey, deputy director of Break the Chains: Communities of
Color and the War on Drugs in New York, will be the keynote speaker,
according to the drug policy group. "We have to stop thinking of women
and substance abuse as mothers, or pregnant women, or women who are
being abused," Carey said in the news release. "We need to view them as
people who need help, specifically from the growing tide of
methamphetamine addiction." Her organization's mission is to replace
punitive drug polices with alternative policies that promote racial
justice, public health and human rights, according to a news release
from the forum. The event at the Japanese Cultural Center also will
present the Drug Policy Forum's Ho'omaluhia (Peacemaker) Award to Dr.
Tricia Wright, an assistant professor at the University of Hawaii's
John A. Burns School of Medicine, for starting Hawaii's first perinatal
clinic for women who abuse substances.
