Great day to support harm reduction!
LOVED talking to Dr. Carmen Logie - who is a "burst of sunshine" at any time, but welcome in these times. Thank you for talking with me about sex work and drug use stigma.

In a 5-year experience with an unsanctioned safe site where people could inject drugs, there were 10,514 injections and 33 opioid overdoses. All the overdoses were reversed with naloxone, and none resulted in death. Combined stimulant and opioid use increased over time.

TW: Sexual and emotional abuse . . . . . A member of our harm reduction community who has caused harm is being asked by victims to step down from power & acknowledge, repair the harm he caused. They ask us all to examine how we’ve failed to keep ppl safe & do better. We must.
We demand accountability for Kiefer Paterson’s violence from the board of Higher Ground Harm Reduction and the wider #harmreduction community. #MeTooHarmReduction bit.ly/3gFE35f

In last 24 hrs there've been prominent US voices calling for a stop to social distancing, citing rationale that they're worse than impact of COVID itself. It’s worth looking very closely at that claim, where we are in US COVID epidemic and what happens if we stop. 1/x

Is our ‘republican’ president scrambling to respond to this epidemic with the socialist concept of a ‘social safety net?’ ‘President Trump has signed into law a bill to ensure paid leave benefits to many Americans.. supports nutrition programs, e.g. food stamps.’

That is if people can even get drugs...
March 23 is the 10 year anniversary of the passage of the #ACA. Since Trump is trying to get rid of it, reminders of what life before the ACA was like and could be again. 1/
