**But... How Can I Help End the Drug War?**

Read through the 10 ways you can help out below and then fill out this form so we can help you get started! 

 

1) Help Us Multiply:

• Tabling
• Flyering (on campus, on other campuses, in your hometown)
• Inviting your friends to join our Facebook group
  
• Collect listserv sign-ups (each one gets us 1 SSDP point)

2) Lobbying, a.k.a. Making Your Officials Work For You:

• Find out who your elected officials are, read SSDP's Lobbying Guide, and get in touch with them! Representatives love meeting up with motivated students, and you'll be amazed to find out that your meeting can actually have a huge effect on future state policy decisions.
  
• We'll be meeting up with representatives over winter break to discuss medical marijuana and salvia laws, so please email SSDPterps@gmail.com if you're in the area and want to help out.

3) Boring (but super helpful) Data Entry: Yeah, I know it's lame, but someone's gotta do it. We have a ton of filled out sheets we have to get into a Google Doc.

 

 

5) Plan A Sickass Campus or Community Event:

• Pick one from the list , or come up with one of your own. We'll take you through every step of the process. It's a super fun and extremely rewarding experience that'll teach you a lot of skills along the way.
• NORML, CRoots, SSDP, and more will be having a raging concert on campus in April called "Freedom Fest". Email zattackbrown@gmail.com if you want to help make it happen

6) Videos:

• Editing: If you have a decent video editing program, help out by editing down a bunch of recordings we have from meetings. If you're super awesome, make those clips into a UMD SSDP promotional video.
  
• Recording/Directing: We'd like to make a short "How to Table instructional video, plus maybe a "How to Get People to Your Meetings" (and any others you come up with).Both are something that wouldn't only strengthen our chapter, but would be spread far and wide throughout the hundreds of SSDP chapters across the world

7) Teach Your Friends How to Survive Police Encounters:

• Show them Flex Your Rights' video, "Busted: The Citizen's Guide to Surviving Police Encounters"
• Screen the movie in your hometown
• Pre-order Flex Your Rights' new movie, "10 Rules for Dealing With Police " to learn even more

8) Go To San Fran in March:

• No, seriously. Don't miss out on our biggest conference ever!

 

9) Get Us Some $$$:

• We need money to get as many of our members as possible out to the conference. This document contains some helpful fundraising tips.

 

10) Add onto SSDPedia 

 

 

Of course, we're always running all sorts of campaigns, so the list of things to do is infinite! If any of this interests you, fill out this form or directly contact ssdpterps@gmail.com with any questions. You rule!
