The #heartnotharm campaign is mother’s stories of drug war casualties demonstrating society’s failed response to substance use. Hysteria around synthetic drugs have unfortunately enabled a return to drug war tactics, including increased sentencing enhancements and drug induced homicide laws. Mothers are steadfast in opposing punitive prohibitionist approaches, and calling for a compassionate, reasoned, and tolerant response. ✅Build a safer world for our loved ones regardless of their choices. ✅Parents today deserve honest drug education for our youth. ✅Families must have access to a full range of harm reduction services. ✅Demand a massive investment in a care infrastructure that supports people. ✅Retribution and punishment do not save lives or heal families. ✅Harm reduction reduces stigma, saves lives, and restores dignity. #momsunitedtoendthewarondrugs #harmreductionsaveslives

‼️canceled due to unforeseen human conditions! Apologies for the inconvenience! ‼️

We’re out of office until Friday, 5/9! The team is at USC for a street medicine training. If you need harm reduction materials please visit a nap site or text us!

It just so happens that for #fentanylawarenessday part of the team headed to San Francisco this week to attend the COPHRI Conference. There we discussed the consequences of stigma and how important it is for harm reductionists to be fighting stigma in all areas of our work. What’s helped you reframe stigma from substance use for yourself? We lean on the evidence based knowledge that substance use disorder is a disease and must be treated as a public health issue, with dignity and respect as any other medical condition. #harmreductionsaveslives #naloxonesaveslives #nomoredrugwar

Queers in Recovery is a group that highlights a welcoming space for LGBTQ+ individuals who are either in recovery or exploring sober or sober-curious lifestyles. It emphasizes community, connection, and support for people of all recovery journeys. There will be space to craft your own recovery tokens as a symbol for creating your recovery whatever that looks like everyone is different that’s what makes it your own journey to share with community. Also feel free to bring own craft you’ve been working on and hang! We will also have water painting available and space to doodle. #queersinrecovery #communitycare #harmreductionsaveslives
