Dear Friends, It's hard to believe it's been ten years since those pioneers at the Rochester Institute of Technology first called themselves "Students for Sensible Drug Policy," sparking an organization that would turn into a powerful, international movement of students working to put an end to the senseless War on Drugs. Since then, we've seen the rise of hundreds of chapters across the U.S., with sister organizations recently sprouting up in Canada and the U.K. We've won decisive legislative victories (and yes, suffered a few setbacks), and we continue to be seen as a credible source of information by lawmakers and the media. Over the course of ten years, we've graduated thousands of alumni, many of whom forged lasting friendships with one another during our annual conferences. So how do we do the past ten years justice? By hosting the biggest, best SSDP conference to date, of course! SAVE THE DATE: Our tenth annual conference will be filled with top-notch speakers and workshops, and will provide students and supporters with opportunities to learn more about the Drug War, to lobby Congress directly, and to network with other like-minded drug policy reform advocates from Los Angeles to London. With hundreds of SSDP members and alumni from the U.S., Canada, and the U.K. planning to attend, this promises to be an exciting and historic event that will set the course for the next ten years of student-led drug policy reform activism around the world. If you have any willingness to participate, please RSVP today, even if you are unsure of your ability to attend. Once you RSVP, we'll be able to keep you in the loop about conference programming, travel, lodging, and scholarships, and we'll direct you toward online registration once it becomes available. If you want to attend, we'll do all we can to get you there. |
