Attention
College
Students!
9/11/98
Labor Day has come and gone
which means that summer is definitely over. Here at DRCNet, that
means that its time to re-open our campus-based U-net discussion list for
current and potential drug policy activists.
If you are a college or grad
student who would like to become more involved in the movement for drug
policy reform, both on a campus-wide and on a national level, or, if you
are currently active but want to significantly broaden the scope and impact
of your efforts, U-net is for you.
U-net is an email discussion
list where you will interact with activists on campuses nationwide, share
ideas and strategies, learn how to strengthen your media efforts and find
new ways to make a difference. Launched during the Spring '98 semester,
U-net attracted participants from over 70 schools in just a few months.
This year, we are hoping to reach 125 different campuses and to provide
not only a forum for discussion but a central meeting place to plan activism
that will resonate far beyond your campus. Some of our plans include:
-
Ways to offer your members an
easy means of staying connected with the movement -- even the ones who
don't come to meetings!
-
"College Reform Spotlight" A
special section of the DRCNet web site devoted to campus-based activism,
issues that affect students and ways to get involved. (The Campus
Spotlight will go online this morning and will probably be up and running
by the time you get this e-mail -- check it out at http://www.drcnet.org/U-net/.)
-
A monthly e-zine highlighting
campus activism and activists, as well as campus drug policies, around
the country.
-
Opportunities for dedicated
activists to become regular reporters for The Week Online and for the student
monthly (a great way to build a portfolio of published materials).
-
Media skills support:
How to write a press release that will get noticed, who to send it to,
how to get reporters interested in your organization or activities, how
to write op-eds for your campus paper, how to make the most use of campus
and local radio and TV stations, etc.
-
And much more!
In addition, U-net subscribers
will have constant access to each other via the list, allowing you to learn
from some of the most successful on-campus drug policy activists in the
country, coordinate your activism regionally or nationally, and share your
insights and experience with others who are working to make a difference.
"stopthedrugwar.org" bumper stickers and future discounts on DRCNet merchandise.

year.) Write to Troy Dayton at [email protected]
