How To Get Involved
“...we appear to have forgotten how to like and respect people who use drugs...
We need to reimagine how harm reduction can work in this austere climate and, yes, maybe this also means we need to rediscover a new style of activism to once again make a difference by keeping people who use drugs alive and well."
