Activism Summit Application

Stand up to Big Tobacco in your community

2020 Fall Activism Summit

Big Tobacco has a long history of marketing its deadly products to youth through manipulation and deception, and we’ve seen it all and had enough of it! As youth, we have the voice of change in this world and power to make a positive difference. By using our voice, we will continue to stand up to Big Tobacco, bringing attention to the environmental impact of tobacco products and marketing toward youth. Youth can empower, help guide, and provide our peers with resources to create change.

A few of the topics youth will learn about include No Limits and Big Tobacco 101, Big Tobacco’s history of manipulative marketing tactics, the positive difference youth are capable of making, how tobacco harms the environment, and how to take strategic steps in the right direction to make change a reality.

When:

November 16 – 17, 2019

Where:

Divots Conference Center, Norfolk, NE

Cost:

FREE (We’ll even pick you up!)
