You know what time it is? It's 4:23 PST and a great time to end the drug war

Measure 110 was a step in the right direction, but there is so much more to be fought for. Decrim helps but only if each person carrying drugs has access to safe supply, and services that genuinely better drugs users lives. There is still much to improve.

Our meeting that we were going to have today at 6 pm will be cancelled due to the heat. See you all in 2 weeks!

We won't die for your drug war

I obtained & am releasing emails showing the police chief, top city staff, & nonprofit execs in Medford, OR coordinated to stop $1.5m of state money from being sent to a peer respite run by Stabbin' Wagon -- a harm reduction nonprofit critical of the city's carceral tactics 1/

Could the multifaceted attack from the state, service providers, media, and far right be a reason that respites have been severely delayed? It's hard to know, but Mountain Beaver House still seems on track to get $1.5m from OHA, per a recent JPR News story ijpr.org/health-and-med…

20 years of fighting for respect, dignity & life-saving services for our community's chronically under-served. The road here hasn't been easy, but today we celebrate everyone who has made #Insite a reality, supporting/advocating/utilizing its services over 20 years. #INSITE20

If Portland is the center of a "national controversy", instead of more punitive and carceral measures, how about we provide housing? And safe supply, and overdose prevention sites. More policing by dubious non-profits is not the answer. koin.com/news/portland/…

Disability Justice 🤝 Drug User Liberation

The best part of measure 110 was the decriminalization, the very thing being attacked. One of its biggest failures was not creating a public health campaign that focused on destigmatizing drug users. That stigma is now being used by opponents to tear down M110, and it's working

On 12/24 (tomorrow) instead of our usual meeting, we are holding space for folks from 6-10pm. This time of year can be very difficult, so please join us for food, drink, and camaraderie. DM for details!

Please boost! ❤️

Merry Crisis

Good people use drugs

Overdose Prevention Sites not only provide health and social services resources, They Save Lives. Overdose deaths decreased by 67% in neighborhoods with an OPS available. Chicago lost over 2000 lives last year. An OPS keeps people who use drugs alive!!

The fight for harm reduction is inherently radical—it's about challenging oppressive systems and advocating for the safety and wellbeing of marginalized communities. When it comes to trans and gender non-conforming folks, the stakes are even higher.
