Powerful event at Dickson Park in Cambridge today to mark #IOAD2022. Data shows three overdose-related deaths per week in WR. Thank you to the many valued community partners, including the members of @DrugStrategyWR, who work to bring support, not stigma, to this crisis.

As we approach International Overdose Awareness Day we continue to lose people in our community at an alarming rate. The image of an empty purple chair is used to signify that someone is missing. Here at ACCKWA we feel the impact of this empty chair, and all the empty chairs.

Stigma is dangerous. Yes, we need funded Safe Supply programs, Consumption and Treatment Sites, and decriminalization. It's evidence based and saves tax payers money, This health crisis is not a political issue to be leveraged for popularity. Stop playing with people's lives.

If you drink at a bar or restaurant then you’re using a supervised consumption site (SCS). Luckily you are also accessing a safe, regulated supply. Don’t point fingers at people who use their drugs at the other one. Alcohol is a drug too. Normalize SCS. #EndStigma #harmreduction

Tonight, #Cbridge City Council voted to endorse 150 Main St. as the preferred site for any future consumption and treatment site within our city. It’s time. Too many people have died of preventable overdoses in Cambridge.
