Oregon SSDP continues to get more organized.
The state-wide network of chapters now features its very own State Coordinator,
Sam Chapman! He is currently a senior at the University of Oregon, where he's led an SSDP chapter for the past three years. Sam majors in Political Science and minors in Philosophy, is involved with
Occupy Eugene, and has a great record of drug policy activism. Sam acted as student outreach coordinator for Measure 74, a 2010 ballot measure that would have allowed for medical marijuana dispensaries in the state of Oregon. More recently, Sam has been working with the
Oregon Marijuana Policy Initiative as a student outreach coordinator. With SSDP, Sam Chapman has been campaigning for a Good Samaritan policy at the University of Oregon, and recommends SSDPers to get involved with the “On The Record” project, which would shed light on lawmakers' stances on drug policy. I'm excited to see SSDP chapters across Oregon collaborating under Sam's coordination, and I hope this dynamic brings about change in drug policy this November!
