SUMMARY:In-Person Community Discussion: "Alternatives to the Drug War"
DESCRIPTION:You have been invited\, through a personal connection\, to learn about alternatives to the drug war at this in-person dinner.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin us in exploring health-centered responses to drugs and addiction instead of a criminal justice response.\n\nThis 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.\n\nABOUT 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.\n\nIn response to experiences as a foster parent\, Christina Dent began to research why drug-related harms aren't decreasing. \n\nThat 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. \n\nChristina is politically conservative\, an evangelical Christian\, and a born-and-raised Mississippian.
