Join hundreds of national and international leaders for a day of learning and debating\, networking and strategizing about the next steps we need to take to end the drug war and ensure policies that are grounded in racial justice. \nSpeakers include Erica Garner\, the daughter of slain Staten Island resident Eric Garner\, Mayor Svante Myrick of Ithaca\, NY\, DPA Executive Director\, Ethan Nadelmann\, Dr. Carl Hart and Deborah Small.  There will be excerpts of Michael Moore’s film Where to Invade Next shown witih commentary by special surprise guests!  This event is free. Food will be served throughout the day. Seats are limited; RSVP is a must. This event is accessible by elevator through the main entrance.
