Thank you to David Moon and all members that voted to pass HB481 through the house! #decrimourworks #drugpolicy next up---the senate. Let's go Bill Ferguson
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
Every single dollar we spend on criminalizing drug paraphernalia is a dollar we could spend on saving lives Bill Ferguson Pass HB481/SB509 and #decrimourworks Baltimore Harm Reduction Coalition
The House passed HB481 to decriminalize paraphernalia, now it's YOUR TURN MD Senate Democrats Bill Ferguson #passSB509 #drugpolicy #decrimourworks #Maryland
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
We all agree we want less syringe litter and certainly we agree we want LESS DEATH, so make it easier for people to carry their supplies back to a safe disposal location. Baltimore City Health Department (BCHD) Bill Ferguson Senator Will Smith (District 20) Sen. Jeff Waldstreicher
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
If you are feeling that need to do something to make things feel a little more hopeful, our friends at Baltimore Harm Reduction Coalition are holding a public narcan training later this week. Narcan saves lives. Please attend if you can: x.com/BmoreHRC/statu…
“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.
“There’s never been a death at an OPS. It is my hope that we are posed to be the next city to adopt these site. Tens of thousand of lives are at stake. We should not wait a moment longer to implement public health solutions that save lives.” Letitia Dzirasa, MD BRIDGES Coalition for OPS
“In Annapolis, we were told that no one in MD or Baltimore would want an OPS on their block - we responded with a resounding ‘YES on my Block!’ And we invite you to join us.” Rajani Gudlavalleti of Baltimore Harm Reduction Coalition and BRIDGES Coalition for OPS #OPSSaveLives #YesOnMyBlock
Busy day in Annapolis yesterday. Kudos to our BRIDGES Coalition for OPS on providing testimony in hearings for both Overdose Prevention Sites (HB953) & Paraphernalia Decriminalization (HB173). It is the time to save lives is NOW! #OPSSavesLives #DecrimOurWorks
Yesterday we testified in support of #OPS, today we're calling on Bill Ferguson MD Senate Democrats Sen. Jeff Waldstreicher @WillCSmithJr to pass SB762 to allow people who use drugs to carry their supplies without fear of criminalization. #harmreduction #advocacy #decrimourworks
Let’s start using new ways to tackle the ongoing overdose crisis in MD, Bill Ferguson and MD Senate Democrats - Decriminalize paraphernalia, PASS SB762 #decrimourworks #drugpolicy
These tools indicate a person who cares about their health and well being while using and those of others. Not someone who wants or needs to be criminalized. Pass SB762 Bill Ferguson Senator Will Smith (District 20) #decrimourworks #Oscars
Pass SB762 to allow people who use drugs to carry their supplies without fear of criminalization! #decrimourworks Bill Ferguson MD Senate Democrats Sen. Jeff Waldstreicher Senator Will Smith (District 20) #drugpolicy
