SSDP International Conference at San Francisco's Fort Mason Center
| By Students for a Sensible Drug Policy | Published February 23, 2010 |
Students for Sensible Drug Policy's international conference is the largest gathering of students and youth from around the world who are working to end the failed War on Drugs. This year's conference will take place in San Francisco, a city at the forefront of sensible drug policies.
On March 12-14th, hundreds of students will convene at the beautiful Fort Mason Center, which boasts stunning views of the Golden Gate Bridge and other historic landmarks. As attendees gaze across the bay at Alcatraz, the infamous island prison that once housed prohibition-era gangster Al Capone, they will learn about modern day drug prohibition and its effects on our society. Not only will SSDP members, alumni, and supporters hear from prominent leaders and experts in the drug policy reform movement, they will also participate in workshops to hone their advocacy skills, work with our Board of Directors to craft our national organizational agenda, and network with each other at fun social events and concerts!
Capacity is limited. So are scholarships, which we will be offering to offset the cost of travel and lodging for students.
As always, we will work to keep registration costs as low as possible so that students can afford to attend. We're also giving away travel and lodging scholarships, so click here to find out how to sponsor a student or apply for a scholarship.
See you in San Francisco!
