[Peace] Casualties of the Drug War

[Susan Rodgers]

*Casualties of the Drug War
* April 15th, Tuesday - 7pm
Chemistry Annex

Cliff Thornton will be speaking about the human impact of the drug war,
particularly on people of color and low-income. He will encourage us to
re-examine our drug policies and how to change them to result in a more
socially just system.  Cliff is an engaging speaker and has traveled all
over the country working on these issues.

Thornton is of the drug reform group Efficacy and was on the board of the
NORML from 1999 to 2008. He was the Green Party candidate for Governor in
Connecticut in 2006 and is currently a co-chair of the Green Party of the
United States.

We hope to see all of you there.
