Nevada Residents: Come to our Pre-Summit Meet-up Tonight!
Monday, April 23, 2007

Jennifer Kern Tomorrow the ONDCP will be in Las Vegas to try to convince local educators to implement random student drug testing programs in Nevada schools.  Please come to our meet-up this evening to strategize about getting the word out that random student drug testing is costly, intrusive and potentially harmful to students!

When: Tonight, 7:00PM

Where: Starbucks Coffee Shop in the Golden Nugget Hotel
129 East Fremont Street
Las Vegas, NV 89101
702-385-7111

Why: To discuss the game-plan for the summit, key issue points and possible responses to difficult questions.

You can sign up and get more details in our action center. If you can't attend the meeting, you can still get in touch before the summit.

Attend the summit on Tuesday:

When: 8:30 AM, Tues., April 24, 2007

Where: Cashman Center
850 N. Las Vegas Blvd., Las Vegas, NV

Why: So you can counter the ONDCP's deceptive presentations by asking sharp questions and distributing literature.

For more details on how to prepare for the summit check out our online toolkit. The toolkit can also give you ideas about other ways to get involved.

Thank you!

Learn more about student drug testing:

Drug testing is humiliating, costly and ineffective, but it's an easy anti-drug sound bite for the White House. Student testing breaks the trust between children and adults, and drives students away from extracurricular activities. What's more, studies even show that student drug testing doesn't work to deter drug use. Read the story of how one student's life was turned upside down by drug testing.

Visit our website and read a copy of our booklet Making Sense of Student Drug Testing: Why Educators Are Saying No.
