Description

ABOUT END IT FOR GOOD: End It For Good is a conservative nonprofit inviting people to consider how regulating the drug market again and addressing drugs and addiction as a complex health crisis instead of a criminal justice issue could significantly decrease harm and increase quality of life for all of us. Christina Dent, Founder & President of End It For Good, will lead a presentation based on her 2019 Tedx Talk. We are excited to be presenting to the St. Bernard Parish community. This is our first out-of-state Community Discussion event. Already over 1000 Mississippians have come to similar discussions in 17 cities across the state, including local and statewide elected officials, law enforcement, pastors, doctors, judges, prosecutors, business owners, people in recovery, and people impacted by addiction or incarceration. What have they found? "It was very worth my time because you gave us facts to think about, not just opinion." - CC, Laurel "There’s nothing about it that feels forceful or intimidating if you don’t agree with the ideas presented." - EF, Jackson "After attending, I felt most hopeful about the possibility of change in Mississippi.  And if there's a possibility of real change in Mississippi, there's an even greater chance of change nationwide." - JM, Hattiesburg  We look forward to you joining us in exploring health-centered responses to drugs and addiction instead of a criminal justice response. We believe we can significantly reduce societal drug-related harms while keeping more people alive with better opportunities to thrive if we're willing to consider a different path. **You're welcome to bring a guest, but each ticket must be reserved under that attendee's name.
