Santa Cruz Forums on Community Safety and Compassion
Drugs, Public Health and Needle Exchange
Wednesday, April 10 at 7 PM:
At Santa Cruz High School Theater, 415 Walnut Ave., Santa Cruz.

Join us for an evening of informed discussion and positive actions.

We will begin the evening with a few speakers to set the stage and promote understanding of the current issues related to drug use in Santa Cruz:
*Rev. Deborah L. Johnson, Inner Light Ministries
*Craig Reinarman, UCSC Professor of Sociology
*Giang Nguyen, Director, Santa Cruz County Health Services Agency
*Alex Kral, Director, Urban Health Program, San Francisco
*Personal narratives

The speakers will take some Q and A from the audience, and then we invite you to take part in positive actions. A number of excellent community groups will be there, and you can "plug in" and get involved with various constructive steps forward.

And, save the date for our second forum:
