Harm reduction relies on so many silent and under recognized heroes. To all of you, I offer you meagre thanks, not even touching the sides of the recognition you deserve. Thank you for being beyond awesome ♥️

Of course, not forgetting the two regular volunteers who came out all the time dedicating their time to support the campaign for drug policy based in health for people who use drugs. This is them in the background. They were hero's & wanted to stay in the background.

We wish we had better news. But as of now, #MarcellusWilliams is still scheduled to be executed by Missouri tonight at 6 p.m. central for a crime he is totally innocent of.
Don’t stop sharing his story. It’s not too late to save an innocent life. innocenceproject.org/petitio…

As a paramedic in B.C., I could almost never find treatment providers with capacity to accept patients who WANTED to be in treatment.
This is stupid political grandstanding which will worsen the crisis. David Eby is a gutless coward.
B.C. will force severely addicted and mentally ill people into involuntary care: Eby vancouversun.com/news/bc-wil…

ICARA invites you to our 2024 AGM on 'Broadening perspectives on commercial determinants of health' on Mon 28th Oct, 12-3pm GMT (UK). Fantastic speakers & discussants focusing on perspectives from the Global South. Full programme & registration link here: icara.info/upcoming-icara-ev…
Important acknowledgement that this is the second overdose prevention centre in Scotland, and great to see politicians like @PaulJSweeney and @neilcgray following the evidence from @PeteKrykant_OPC. More OPCs are needed around the UK and in Ireland .
Thankful @PaulJSweeney stays focused on Scotlands drug death crisis & thanks @neilcgray for the acknowledgement of my work.
With drugs more toxic than ever it's crucial people using the new consumption room have immediate access to support, feel respected & treated with dignity.

Ms. Gisèle Pélicot is a hero.
She asked that her trial be made public so every single piece of shit that raped her will have their name & face shown.
- Man drugged wife's dinner then invited more than 50 men over to rape her whilst she lay unconscious. mirror.co.uk/news/world-news…
The absolute horror of this story, drugged by her husband and raped by 50, 70, ??? men many of which lived in her local village. Pictures of her daughter. The strength of Gisele is astounding. Hoping so hard that she gets justice. The amount of witnesses. Speak up.
#SoumissionChimique Droguée par son mari et livrée à des inconnus pendant des années, Gisèle Pélicot fait face à ses 50 agresseurs depuis ce lundi à Avignon.
Une audience qu’elle a courageusement demandé de rendre publique, pour alerter sur ce fléau.
