CADCA Submits Recommendations to ONDCP on 2010 National Drug Control Strategy

Every fall, the Office of National Drug Control Policy solicits feed back from the field in preparation for the coming year’s National Drug Control Strategy. CADCA submitted ten overall recommendations to ONDCP for its 2010 National Drug Control Strategy, all of which underscore the fact that prevention must be a major component of any effective drug control strategy.

Save Our SDFSC

In his FY 2010 budget request, President Obama recommended zeroing out the State Grants portion of the Safe and Drug Free Schools and Communities (SDFSC) program. With a sustained nationwide grassroots advocacy effort, we may be able to prevent Congress from implementing President Obama’s recommendation, and in the process, save our students from ever becoming involved in drug use or participating in violent activities. This toolkit is designed with that purpose in mind.

Support 21

Community anti-drug coalitions throughout the country are all too familiar with the detrimental consequences associated with underage drinking, not only for those youth directly involved, but also for communities at-large. Despite these negative ramifications, the Amethyst Initiative, founded by John McCardell, President Emeritus of Middlebury College and Founder of Choose Responsibility, seeks to revisit the debate on the legal drinking age, and encourages law makers to lower it. CADCA’s Support 21 Community Toolkit was developed to assist local community anti-drug coalitions counter this effort.
