Many of you know from our
newsletter that this November, a major gathering of drug policy reformers
will take place in Long Beach, California -- the 2005
International Drug Policy Reform Conference, sponsored by Drug Policy
Alliance. Common Sense for Drug Policy, in hopes of making this the
largest drug reform conference to date, has made a substantial commitment
to provide scholarships to help interested attendees afford to go.
DRCNet has been asked to help find some of those people.
The scholarships are intended
for individuals who have some demonstrated record of activism, ideally
including drug policy reform or harm reduction, but whose opportunities
to interact with reformers on a national scale has been limited due to
financial constraints. In particular, the scholarships are intended
for people who have not attended any of the last three NORML conferences
or the last two DPA conferences. They will include the conference
registration fee (a savings of at least $250), and up to $750 toward travel
and lodging, depending on the individual's financial situation and travel
costs.
If you fit this description
and want to attend the conference, please e-mail us at [email protected].
Include information on your past and current activism, as well as how much
you can afford to spend (if anything) out of your own pocket to get there,
and what conferences if any you've attended in the past. (If you
don't fit the above criteria, or aren't sure, feel free to contact us anyway,
but understand that your chances of scholarship may be less. We are
only making recommendations for scholarships, not the final decisions.)
Needless to say, DRCNet will
be there, and we hope to see you there too. We are looking forward
to hearing from you.
