We loved hanging out with Sub Pop Records at #SPF30 today! Lots of great conversations about #SCS. Everyone wanted to know when Jenny Durkan Durkan is going to act to save lives. #YesToSCS #SaferIsBetter
Thank you to everyone who joined us for Overdose Awareness Day to remember those we lost & demand action from Jenny Durkan on implementing life saving programs like safe consumption spaces. Now is not the time to cower before a racist, anti-science Trump government! #YesToSCS
.Jenny Durkan , join San Francisco and New York in standing up to Trump. Be on the right side of history and act now to save lives! #YesToSCS #SaferIsBetter
Four people overdosed & died in less than 24 hrs in Seattle. Jenny Durkan and Seattle City Council, how many more preventable deaths before you act? You have the science, the support, and the money. Now use them. Lives depend on it. #YesToSCS #SaferIsBetter delaysmeandeaths.org
Thank you Chelsea Clinton for supporting science not stigma —we hope both local and federal leaders will take your words to heart! #YesToSCS #SaferIsBetter Cc: Jenny Durkan Seattle City Council Dow Constantine King County Council
Exactly two years ago the King County Heroin Task Force released its recommendations for safe consumption spaces. Bureaucratic delay & political fear has cost hundreds of lives. Jenny Durkan, is it time to act now? #DelaysMeanDeaths #SaferIsBetter #YesToSCS delaysmeandeaths.org
Statistically, someone died of an overdose in Seattle today. A safe consumption space could have saved their life. With an HIV outbreak and ever rising overdose deaths, isn't now the time to act Jenny Durkan? #YesToSCS #SaferIsBetter #SaferInside #ActUp delaysmeandeaths.org
Seattle has a comparatively low HIV rate in part because we were early syringe exchange adopters. Jenny Durkan, learn from our past & act now to open an SCS to save lives and prevent the spread of HIV. #ACTUP #YesToSCS #SaferIsBetter publichealthinsider.com/2018/08/30/pub…
There are no gold stars for failing to act. The City failed to spend a single dollar of the 1.3 million Seattle City Council set aside for SCSs in 2018. Just rolling unspent $ forward for 2019 is insufficient. Jenny Durkan , FULLY fund and implement SCSs NOW! kuow.org/stories/despit…

Please Jenny Durkan it’s been TWO YEARS and hundreds have needlessly died from overdose. How much longer do we have to wait? delaysmeandeaths. org ---> ctt.ac/XvdSz+
Thank you Rob Johnson, Councilmember Teresa Mosqueda, Mike O'Brien, & Kshama Sawant for supporting additional SCS funding to save lives! We hope to again see full Seattle City Council support to make SCS a reality in 2019. We must end the deadly delays! #YesToSCS #SaferIsBetter delaysmeandeaths.org
STATEMENT: VOCAL-NY slams Archive: Governor Andrew Cuomo’s opioid plan in the #StateoftheStateNY: As overdose deaths continue to rise, the set of policies the Governor laid out today is not progressive or progress!
.Jenny Durkan NOW is it time to start saving lives? Remind us, what exactly are we waiting for again? #YesToSCS #SaferIsBetter filtermag.org/2019/03/05/sea…
Disappointing but not surprising. Now it’s time to see if Jenny Durkan, Pete Holmes, Dan Satterberg, Seattle City Council, and the rest meant it when they said they were prepared to fight the Trump administration if necessary to save lives. #YesToSCS #SaferIsBetter #BetterInside
