In-Person Community Discussion: "Alternatives to the Drug War"

You have been invited, through a personal connection, to learn about alternatives to the drug war at this in-person dinner.

Join us in exploring health-centered responses to drugs and addiction instead of a criminal justice response.
This event will include a plated dinner, a 30-minute presentation by End It For Good's Founder, Christina Dent, based on her 2019 TEDx Talk, followed by a guided discussion with attendees.
ABOUT END IT FOR GOOD: Even with the 2nd highest incarceration rate in the country, Mississippi still has high rates of drug addiction, drug-related crime, broken families, and a rising number of overdose deaths.
In 
response to experiences as a foster parent, Christina Dent began to research why drug-related harms aren't decreasing. 
That research led her to found End It For Good, a conservative nonprofit inviting Mississippians to consider how regulating the drug market again and addressing drugs and addiction as a complex health crisis instead of a criminal justice issue could significantly decrease harm and increase quality of life for all of us.

hristina is politically conservative, an evangelical Christian, and a born-and-raised Mississippian.
