Our Team

Students for Sensible Drug Policy (SSDP) is the largest national youth-led network dedicated to ending the War on Drugs. Led by a Board of Directors primarily elected by and from our student and youth members, SSDP mobilizes and empowers young people to participate in the political process and brings young people of all political and ideological orientations together to have honest conversations about drugs and drug policy. Our national staff, Board of Directors, chapters, and alumni work together to replace the disastrous War on Drugs with policies rooted in evidence, compassion, and human rights at a grassroots level.
