Shamefully, #MApoli pols have AGAIN chosen to ignore evidence, deep need & demand for #OverdosePreventionCenters & made the stigma-based decision to remove OPC from their final SUD bill. We'll continue to demand #YESTOSCS & fight alongside people who use drugs for #SIFMANOW!

At least 14,874 people in MA have died of PREVENTABLE OD since 1st #SIFMANOW bill in 2017. #MApoli again made decision, based on stigma & bias NOT evidence to remove #overdosepreventioncenters from SU bill. EVERY OD DEATH IS A POLICY FAILURE & CHOICE! We demand #YestoSCS!

I find it very strange when people post things like “IOAD, hashtag police officer/anything related to police” or put conditions, specifically recovery conditions, on harm reduction. Tell me you don’t actually understand harm reduction/police harm on PWUD without telling me…

This ↓ is what you call "doubling down" on public health @MayorWu!?! Your cops lined up in front of healthcare facilities that serve unhoused community members & people who use drugs preventing people from accessing vital healthcare, seems more like criminalization. #bospoli
When people say they can’t access vital healthcare and harm reduction services because of fear of being punished/arrested for substance use, this is why and it’s unacceptable. Keeping people from accessing things like PrEP, ARVs, sterile works, primary care only perpetuates harm

Study of @_OnPointNYC affirms siting OPC where most needed doesn't lead to ↑ crime/disorder If @MayorWu truly cared about people who use drugs & safety she'd say #YestoSCS & rescind her camping ban which incl arresting PWUD & adjacent sketchy central booking & lockup #bospoli

Panels of experts (legal, medical & public health) & other legislators have spent time educating Sen Collins, who is clearly information resistant & sharing mis-info We must not allow 1 committee member to enable more preventable #overdose deaths. #mapoli needs #YEStoSCS now!
