If youāre okay with bars, then youāre supportive of safe consumption sites.
If youāre okay with cannabis legalization, youāre supportive of safe supply.
The substance shouldnāt matter.
Harm reduction is harm reduction and all drug users should be treated equitably.

We are proud to report that Appalachians for Appalachia ran the largest nonprofit direct voter contact campaign in the 2023 Kentucky election. In October & November, our team contacted 40,000 individual 18 to 40-year-old rural voters in 40 Appalachian counties in Eastern KY. š§µ
Weāre just getting started!

Reflecting on the results in KY from earlier this week I want to talk about civic engagement generally.

We ran the biggest c(3) direct voter contact campaign in Kentucky this year.

Voter outreach in Appalachia is vital in securing the nationās future.
We know from studies that areas w/ the highest poverty rates also have the lowest levels of civic engagement.
There is power in voting, speaking w/ electeds, & activism in community. & thatās our mission.
What is #WestVirginiaDay? š The day WV was added to the Union! Itās not all perfect, but itās still worth celebrating.
