7.4.2018: We, Representatives of the medical, policy, treatment, & recovery communities, appealing to the rational thinkers of the state, do, in the name of these communities, solemnly publish and declare, that we are, and of right ought to be free from a failed ‘war on drugs’.
Next up, Rhode Island!! Can’t wait to follow in the footsteps of this outstanding organization.

This headline better reflects our efforts to ensure that this life saving facility is opened in the location that makes the most sense for people who will use the space, and the community at large.

We're glad the @projo is highlighting the intentional efforts we are making. But #HarmReduction centers are safe, no quotation marks needed. Noone has ever died at any of these centers worldwide. Studies prove: they reduce #overdose deaths, save $, prevent the spread of HIV/HCV.
It’s going to be a busy night at the State House! Join us with written or verbal testimony supporting this bill as well as H8009 (increasing the weight limit for our flagship bill reclassifying simple possession to a misdemeanor) and several other initiatives. #NoMoreDrugWar

Did you know? 75% of 2020's #RhodeIsland overdose deaths involving a stimulant *also* involved an opioid. That's because #fentanyl is often mixed into substances like cocaine and meth without people's knowledge. But we can still help each other stay safe. (1/2)
RI is next! Grateful 4 the leadership of these orgs, & looking forward to the 2022 opening(s) locally. Want to help? Email: [email protected] #HarmReduction #SupportNotStigma #NoMoreDrugWar

Humbled and honored to be inside the first #OverdosePreventionCenter in the US. Recall writing policy papers supporting this intervention in social work grad school. Congratulations to @NYHarmReduction and @cornerproject #harmreduction #ThisSiteSavesLives - What’s next?

RI recently became the 1st state in the US to authorize Harm Reduction Centers. Let's come together as a community of partners to support the implementation of these life-saving facilities in our tiny, but MIGHTY state!

SAMHSA is keeping the expanded methadone take-home rules for at least a year post-PHE. Great news, and highlights how the restrictions on MOUD access have always been both unnecessary and harmful. Now for the other restrictions.. samhsa.gov/newsroom/press-an…

💯The effects of criminalization of drug use occurs solely along racial and class lines. #publichealth leaders saying nothing about the incarceration of #PWUD while talking out of the other side of their mouths about "stigma" is the height of hypocrisy.
These deaths were preventable - we cannot afford further delays in policy reform. #NoMoreDrugWar #SafeSupply #SafeConsumption #SupportNotStigma
