After the SSDP UNAM chapter read that the Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico (UNAM) wanted to host a big international forum to discuss drug policy in Mexico, we knew we needed to be part of it---and act fast! Andrés wrote a letter to the organizers telling them that we wanted to participate at the forum, and it didn’t matter how.  We were open to working as staff, panelists, tabling etc. Three members of SSDP Mexico and our partner organization ReverdeSer Colectivo signed the letter. We wanted to be there but not just by sitting in the audience.
