The principles of this program are:
1. Active Participation
2. Conscious Decision-Making
3. Multiple Perspectives

Workshops

Mason Tvert
12 p.m. – 2 p.m.
Turner Conference Center, SRC 2800
Tuesday, February 5, 2008

  • Executive Director for Safer Alternative for Enjoyable Recreation (SAFER), a non-profit dedicated to educating the public about the relative safety of marijuana compared to alcohol
  • Led successful campaign making Denver the first U.S. city to remove all penalties for adult marijuana possession under 1 oz.

Mason Tvert is the perfect example of actively participating in the issues he believes in. He is the executive director of Safer Alternative For Enjoyable Recreation (SAFER), a Colorado-based nonprofit dedicated to educating the public about the relative safety of marijuana compared to alcohol. He also directs the SAFER Voter Education Fund, the organization’s lobbying and campaign arm. Mason will discuss the successful campaign he led for Initiative 100 in Denver, and his work with college students around the country to educate their campuses on the issue and pass student referenda and resolutions. With Mason at the helm, SAFER has managed to reinvigorate the marijuana reform debate, relying on humorous advertising and stunts, aggressive debate, and a volunteer-driven grassroots movement that continues to pick up steam as it spreads across the nation.
