Christina Dent

Christina Dent is the Founder & President of End It For Good, a nonprofit based in Mississippi that invites people to support approaches to drugs that prioritize life and the opportunity to thrive. She supported a criminal justice approach to drugs until her experiences as a foster parent sparked curiosity about drug policy. She changed her mind in favor of legalization after becoming convinced it led to outcomes that reduced harm, better aligning with her conservative Christian values. Christina presented the research and experiences that changed her mind in a TEDx Talk and went on to found End It For Good. She was born and raised in Mississippi and continues to make her home there with her husband and three sons. Her passion for ending a criminal justice approach to drugs stems from the same passion that led her to foster care. She desires to see individuals and communities thrive.
