Congratulations Mary E. Harris
You worked so hard to tell our story in the most authentic way ! You absolutely deserve this💚

There’s nothing I won’t do for my child- and it’s reassuring to know I’m not alone💚
#harmreduction and #overdosepreventionsites save lives.

This article leads to a point I've heard people like Jessica Blanchard MSN/Ed, RN and Stephen Murray, MPH, NRP make again and again -- If you want people to stop dying, fix the unregulated supply: slate.com/human-interest…

My “why.” KB is 18mos abstinent from IV opiate use. People change when it makes sense to & they are ready. #harmreduction & #naloxone saved her life 13 times. Being her Mama is my greatest joy💚(shared w/KBs permission)

I watched my child use at the kitchen table to reduce the chance of watching her being buried. She is 17 months into her recovery journey. She is ALIVE💚 #harmreduction saves lives

If you have an org in your area that distributes #naloxone at no cost, leave cards with the orgs contact information everywhere you see #Narcan being sold/gatekept. I’ve been told superglue holds cards to the stores racks extremely well-leave extra cards for the taking.

“If you could just not die- that would be great.”

YERP! (Your Emergency Response Platform) at the Florida Harm Reduction Conference.

It’s an open source system that makes spaces like bathrooms overdose-resistant. Not just for saving lives but also for building autonomy, consent, privacy and trust.

Hanging out/working with Abolish the Drug War, end the Prohibition Crisis at the Drug Policy Alliance conference in Phoenix has me thinking I’m a grown-up now💚 #harmreduction #overdosedetection

I can’t believe I never shared this💚

The Call thisamericanlife.org/809/the-call

Having Chris in my life will forever be one of my greatest blessings 💚

Prob a good time to remind that harm reduction CAN help mitigate risks for people who do choose to use alone.

HR is being met where you're at, even/especially if it's risky. And doing what we can from there. Great resource on this c/o ProjectSAFE below.

229SLA does mobile #harmreduction outreach every Monday & we are loading up to head out now! Send all your good energy & hopes that we love people the way they deserve & want to be loved💚

I’m overwhelmed by love & support. Any @neverusealone operator could’ve answered The Call & supported Kimber-there are dozens of us doing daily what you hear me doing on this one call💚
Kimber saved her own life when she dialed 800-484-3731

Tonight we (and the perfect Jessica Blanchard MSN/Ed, RN ) will be on This American Life with Ira Glass and Mary E. Harris talking about this experience. Tune in 8pm EST to WBEZ (wbez.org)

Please consider helping our community access #menstration supplies. #Dignity and #hygeine are basic human rights.

Without a #safesupply #overdose detection lines are one way we can “help” ourselves stay alive. Kimber saved her own life when she calIed Never Use Alone. It is an honor to be a part of her story.

“I’m sick of burying my friends; it’s getting old. I lose people constantly.” #harmreduction #safeinjectionsites #narcan
