The spring semester is just beginning at colleges and universities around the nation, and the SAFER Campuses Initiative is off to an early start.
We're already helping several
campuses get their efforts off the ground, and we'll continue to help
them and others work to change campus policies and spark public debate
about the relative safety of marijuana compared to alcohol.
 Our goal is to work with students at as many schools as possible, so...
Please contact us today to let us know if you are interested in working with SAFER on your campus or at one near you.
Whether you're interested in running
a full-blown SAFER campaign, or simply taking action when
opportunities present themselves, we want to hear from you! We will be
able to provide you with a great deal of support, including
instructions, materials, and direct assistance.
The SAFER movement began just five years ago on two college campuses in
Colorado, and since then it has spread across the nation. Now, students
at more than a dozen schools, including five of the 15 largest in the
nation, have adopted SAFER referenda, calling for reductions in campus
penalties for marijuana use so they're no greater than those for
alcohol use. At a few of those schools, SAFER campus leaders are now
working with administrators to develop and implement policy changes
that reflect the student votes. Perhaps most importantly, these efforts
have generated significant news coverage and discussion at the campus,
local, and even national level.
If you're interested in working with SAFER on your campus or one that's nearby, please take a minute to send us an e-mail and answer the following questions about yourself and your school so we can get things rolling.
1. What school are you currently attending or interested in working at?
2. Are you a member of a student organization working on marijuana
policy reform? If so, which one? If not, are you interested in
potentially starting one? (NOTE: being part of or starting a student
organization is not required, but can be very helpful.)
3. Anything else that might be of note? A personal story? A particular skill or work/volunteer experience?
