State-certified Syringe Service Programs give supplies to people who need them to ensure their safety. Your job is to help people to not be criminalized for it. #drugpolicy #decrimourworks Bill Ferguson MD Senate Democrats Maryland Senate Republicans

If we want to “stem the flow of overdose deaths,” let's start following practical evidence-based solutions. Decriminalizing paraphernalia is one step forward #drugpolicy #decrimourworks Bill Ferguson

Thank you to racial justice warrior, Senator Sen. Jill P. Carter Emerita, for fighting to increase safety, reduce OD death, and keep pushing her colleagues to care for the people. #decrimourworks #racialjustice #Maryland

Baltimore City’s CDC COVID-19 Community Level has been changed from Low to Medium. Don't let the word "medium" fool you. Mask up! For real, for real. Hang out outdoors instead of in, whenever possible. If indoors wear a mask. #CovidIsNotOver

We could really use some new, adult socks! Folks experiencing homelessness really need fresh socks pretty often in order to prevent foot issues, decrease pain, and keep feet dry. Hit us up if you can help out with any new socks! 🧦🧦🧦🧦🧦🧦🧦🧦🧦🧦🧦🧦🧦

“The way we have dealt with people who use drugs & looking at them as inherently criminal is wrong. Baltimoreans deserve better. We owe it to ourselves, to our city & to those we’ve lost to overdose. That’s why I’m fully support OPS.” Brandon M. Scott at BRIDGES Coalition for OPS press conf.
