Wesleyan University, Middletown CT.

Join us for THE NORTHEAST SUMMIT FOR NEW DRUG POLICIES
conference, where hundreds of students and activists from across the country will come together to learn, network, and work together to help bring about an open, honest, debate on our nation's drug policies and social justice issues. There will be workshops on effective grassroots lobbying, campus organizing, harm reduction techniques, and many other interesting topics.

In addition, there will be panel discussions and keynote addresses from influential organizations and plenty of other leaders in the growing movement to reform our nation's drug laws.

This conference will almost certainly prove be the largest gathering of student drug policy reformers in New England!
