Dearest activists,
This Friday (Nov 21) will mark the first day of the 10th Anniversary International Students for Sensible Drug Policy Conference. Our campus will be flooded with hundreds of drug policy reformers from all over the US, Canada, and even the UK who believe drug use should be a health issue, not a criminal one and that we should look into sensible alternatives to the government's War on Drugs.
Friday, we will be lobbying in DC on crack cocaine disparities.
Saturday, we will be hearing from famous drug policy reformers on a wide range of topics.
Sunday, we will be learning key advocacy skills from professional activists, ranging from fundraising techniques to elevator arguments, to media relations.
Registration for UMD students is really cheap, only $15/day or $35/weekend. Please register online today at www.ssdp.org/conference and don't miss out! If your student group has a facebook group or listserve, we'd love your help in spreading the word as well.
For more information, feel free to email me at reformdr...@gmail.com or give me a call at 410 971 6588

Keep fightin the good fight,
