🚨FACTS: Supervised consumption sites:

@hrna.bsky.socialHarm reduction is more than a collection of services. At its core, it is a commitment to social justice and to resisting the laws, policies, and structures that drive vulnerability and harm. That means standing with and believing Survivors.
@hrna.bsky.socialToday, on the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we honour residential school Survivors, their families and communities, and the children who never returned home. We also reaffirm our commitment to resisting anti-Indigenous racism and residential school denialism.

We have lost thousands and thousands of British Columbians to the drug poisoning crisis. These are our coworkers, our neighbours, our friends and family.

Punitive policies fuel risk & push people away from care.
→Scale up harm reduction.
→Decriminalise.
→Invest in community care.
→Confront Prohibition.
@seanorr.bsky.socialReposted by @hrna.bsky.socialToday is International Overdose Awareness day. Our mayor has shut down an overdose prevention site in an area that has the 2nd highest rate of toxic drug overdoses and deaths in the city. His costly plebiscite will increase stigma and the likelihood of fatal overdoses.
