Just received this in my mailbox from Ethan Nadelmann, Executive Director

Reform Conference 2009

This is our moment: We’re winning battles we’ve fought for years, and opening up public debates that have been simmering beneath the surface for decades.

You are a critical part of this momentum: your emails, your calls, your comments -- even your water cooler conversations with friends. It's all making legislators sit up and think seriously about enacting real change to harmful drug policies.

That's why we want to see and hear from you at our 2009 International Drug Policy Reform Conference, from November 12-14, in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

This unique conference brings together all the issues of the drug policy reform movement. Even more exciting, this year for the first time we’re opening up a Call for Proposals to you, our supporters. We encourage you to submit your best ideas for panel speakers and topics

This conference is for you: for everyone who believes that drug policy should be based on science, compassion, health and human rights, not fear and incarceration. I hope you’ll check out the conference site at <http://www.reformconference.org />

You can find out more details about the Call for Proposals and all the information you need to attend.

Together, I know we can take the conversation about drug policy reform to a whole new level at this year’s Reform Conference. I look forward to seeing you there.

Sincerely,


Ethan Nadelmann
Executive Director

1. If you're interested in drug policy, this is a great place to start.

There will be a thousand or so people from all across the policy spectrum. This is easily the biggest drug policy conference, and is broader than the Marijuana Policy Project and NORML conferences.
