Real cancel culture is getting locked up for a petty drug case, being too poor to get lawyer, having your public defender convince you to agree to a felony. Then society tell you where you can live, whether or not you can vote & what jobs you can hold for the rest of your life.

🧵 If you are a new follower—I do not seek solutions or solace in a political party. Every action that I take from the moment I wake up to the moment I sleep is in resistance to a society that is built to do what it does—harm & isolate people. I unequivocally reject this.

Excited for this!

RIP to all the burner phones on the inside

Mutual aid need for fellow Richmond organizer🚨 they’re $300 from having their oct rent. They’re landlord is threatening eviction & since their lease is month 2 month it makes the situation more precarious. Anything helps! Housing is a human right. $mab804 / Venmo mab804 🏠

This is why we fight so hard to combat false information.

Shocking what people can accomplish when their basic needs are met.

Experiencing homelessness can lead to people using drugs to cope with the trauma of being homeless. Incarceration is a failed intervention. To better address fentanyl & the housing crisis, policymakers must focus on expanding housing & addiction services. latimes.com/opinion/story/…

Treatment is an important tool for people who use drugs problematically. But it cannot be the only response. For example, if someone is homeless, their housing & other basic needs must be met for treatment to even be effective.

When median rent goes up $100, the estimated houselessness rate goes up by 9%, according to U.S. GAO. A lack of affordable, accessible housing options is the primary driver of houselessness -- not drug use or mental health disabilities. Learn more: drugpolicy.org/resource/toolk…

As much as health insurance sucks at least they pretend to be a functioning service that covers care - dental insurance doesn't even pretend. It's a glorified coupon book.

Pretty sick of harm Reduction getting dragged for not doing the job of recovery services.

One major thread this year is Wicked Clowns Harm Reduction, a mutual aid group that secured thousands in grant money ahead of this year's Gathering in response to the Gathering's laissez-faire attitude on drugs, and Derek Brown's unfortunate overdose at GOTJ 2023.
