Drag performers are skilled artists & they contribute so much to our cultural landscape. The violence, hate & intimidation they have faced in #BC & around the world is unacceptable. We must support the drag community & help dispel unfounded fears about drag. Spencer Chandra Herbert

If someone is addicted they are going to use. I would rather they could access and seek treatment than dying from the toxic drugs on the street. #safesupply #momsstoptheharm #endtheoverdosecrisis

I am presenting to VANDU board on emergency measures we need to take in response to the growing right wing backlash to harm reduction and moral panic on safe supply that threatens to wipe out 25 years of struggle

Homophobia and transphobia have no place in our communities. Marches, online attacks, regressive political movements, and other campaigns of hate and disinformation are threatening the rights and well-being of our LGBTQ2S+ community members. 1/5 bctf.ca/news-and-oppor… #bcpoli

I grew up in the ‘80s - during the "tough love" era for handling kids and their issues. It didn’t work, obviously. Instead it deepened my anxiety, depression and self-hatred. My real “tough love moment" was the day I was made a ward of the court at 14 years old, and given a
