Dear friends,
I hope you’re packed and ready to go, because the drug policy reform movement is headed to Albuquerque.
Next week, more than a thousand people from across the country and around the world will arrive in New Mexico for the 2009 International Drug Policy Reform Conference from November 12-14. If you haven’t done so yet, you still have a chance to register and join this amazing group. And you should.
Because you made this conference happen.
You forwarded our messages to your friends. You nominated award winners and provided ideas for conference panels and speakers. And, now, your participation is going to take this meeting to a whole new level.
Just take a look at a few of the things we’ve got going on:
- 60 compelling breakout sessions
- 200+ speakers, including former New Mexico Governor Gary Johnson, Former Foreign Minister of Mexico Jorge Castañeda, and many, many more
- The movement’s premier Awards Dinner, celebrating our 2009 winners such as Donald MacPherson and Montel Williams
- An informal Meet-and-Greet for all attendees, two receptions highlighting the psychedelics community, a 2-night Film Festival and a candlelight vigil on Civic Plaza to honor those currently or formerly incarcerated
And that’s just a small taste of the action. At the Reform Conference, you’re going to get to know the people who will help you win the drug policy reforms you’ve been working on, and who will set before you new challenges. So come with an open mind and all the energy and enthusiasm you can muster. Together, we will push this movement forward. And we’ll start in Albuquerque.
I’ll see you there.
Sincerely,
Ethan Nadelmann
Executive Director
Drug Policy Alliance
