The San Diego Cinco de Mayo con Orgullo Coalition is a project of SAY San Diego, partially funded by San Diego County and Substance Abuse & Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA).
We are comprised of members from many different sectors throughout the county.This includes parents, youth, businesses, schools, media, health organizations, law enforcement and local government. The Coalition nurtures a large volunteer base that expands prevention advocacy within the ethnically diverse communities throughout San Diego County. Under the auspices of the Cinco de Mayo con Orgullo Coalition, the Hands-Off Holidays Campaign is built around a conceptual framework that couples strong advocacy policy with a culturally-relevant approach to prevention of ATOD-related issues.
Strategies
How does the Coalition promote change?
Prevention strategies include:
- Reducing problems associated with alcohol abuse caused in part by an over-concentration of alcohol advertising resulting in heavy alcohol consumption.
- Promoting the true meaning and family-friendly nature of holidays
- Advocating for social norm change
- Assisting in the coordination of county-wide alcohol and tobacco free celebrations.
