Letter Urges Support for "21"
National Safety Council President & CEO Janet Froetscher sent a letter of support for the nation's
21-year-old drinking age law to 131 members of the Amethyst Initiative, a coalition of college and university
leaders who are encouraging broad discussion of underage drinking and lowering the drinking age.
The letter follows recent reaffirmation of the NSC’s policy to support the 21 law, which includes actively opposing
any attempts to change it. The Council is inviting NSC members, Board members, Chapters, Safety Ambassadors and other
interested volunteers to consider this call to action and communicate their concerns about the Amethyst Initiative with
the leaders of schools with whom they have an association.
