Two amazing humans NCHRC founder Thelma Wright and our former lobbyist Virgil Hayes who is now seeking his PhD. Thelma’s spirt keeps us close to the philosophy of the work we do. ❤️
Check out this recently article by the cool kids at Nc Health News! Featuring NCHRC Raleigh Outreach Worker Alicia Brunelli. Alicia is a vital part of our org and operates the SSP in Wake and Joco!
In recent years, the street drug market has become increasingly polluted by additives. Number one among those is fentanyl, which is commonly added to heroin and now being added into other substances.

Involuntary commitment, a legal process in which a layperson or medical professional asks a judge to order mental health or substance use treatment for an individual against their will, has increased by 91% in NC in the last decade.

Gender & Sexuality =BINARY❌
Thinking about gender and sexuality as a spectrum can be used as a tool to identify the different aspects of human gender and sexuality.
People’s identities can be fluid.
During this #PrideMonth, we celebrate ANY and ALL genders and sexualities!

Reproductive rights may include an individual's right to plan a family, terminate a pregnancy, use contraceptives, learn about sex education in public schools, and gain access to reproductive health services. #reproductiverights

Early in April Sen. Edwards (Rep) intro SB607 to dismantle SSPs in NC. NCHRC, NCAAN, NCSU, and the community at large successfully defeated the Bill and it died in rules at midnight!! We have a reprieve Until 2023! #harmreductionwarriors #ncharmredx #ncaan #ncsu #nchrc

How much did overdose deaths *actually* increase during the pandemic?
The CDC releases rolling 12-month data. But we want to know the true month-to-month death toll.
Today in @AMJPublicHealth, @samirakre and I reverse engineered the CDC stats.

The #warondrugs is a war on people. American drug policy is the mortar in the foundation of a country that was build on the back of racist and classist policies. We demand Congress allocate more funding towards harm reduction initiatives! #allofusornone

URGENT ACTION ALERT
ACTION NEEDED –
Senate Bill 607
Dear friends and allies,
Last week the Senator Edwards and Krawiec (Health Chair) decided to sponsor SB 607 Substance Use Disorder Safety Act
ncleg.gov/Legislation/Bills/…
Require background checks for people running programs - no felony pleas or convictions of any kind or misdemeanor pleas/convictions for drug offenses
In short, if this bill were passed as written it would probably end all syringe exchange programs in the state.
This is more War on Drug policy that is intended to harm and not help. Shutting down mobile exchange would only benefit those who are privileged enough to afford a vehicle. Those individuals who need our services the most will no longer have access. ncleg.gov/Legislation/Bills/…
