So glad #ErieCounty elected a new Sheriff who is changing the culture of the department (sarcasm): "Two Erie County Sheriff's Office employees arrested in separate cases" buffalonews.com/news/local/cri… via The Buffalo News

Thank you to the amazing activists from around the world who joined us for #Reform2023. It was magical. #NoMoreDrugWar

It has to be a priority in NYS this legislative session to get S4880/A7487 passed and protect staff and patients taking part in critical drug checking. Thank you @jasminebudnella and so many at Reform Conference 2023 for the info. nysenate.gov/legislation/bi…

Public comment in today’s Opioid Settlement Fund Advisory Board meeting 🎤🔥🔥🔥 DPA NY Policy Office Housing Works OnPoint NYC totalwebcasting.com/view/?func=VOF…

Powerful testimony from OnPoint NYC ED Sam Rivera at today's NY #OpioidSettlement Board meeting, speaking on the urgent need for funding #OPCs and referencing the new report below. WATCH HERE⤵️ totalwebcasting.com/view/?func=VOF… #EndOverdoseNY #AuthorizeOPCs #HarmReductionSAVESLives

TODAY: 100+ organizations delivered a letter to Governor Kathy Hochul demanding expansion of Overdose Prevention Centers. With 18 NYers dying everyday from preventable overdoses, we cannot allow politics to block lifesaving solutions. Read the letter: vocal-ny.org/wp-content/upl…

🚨 HAPPENING NOW! 🚨 We're in Albany, demanding action from Governor Kathy Hochul on the devastating overdose crisis. It's time for the Governor to declare a state of emergency for the opioid crisis in NY State and authorize #OPCsNOW! #StateofState

Late last year, Governor Kathy Hochul rejected the Opioid Settlement Board's recommendation to fund & expand Overdose Prevention Centers. Today, the board posted their blistering rebuke to the gov, and emphatically doubled down on their support for OPCs. READ: oasas.ny.gov/system/files/d…

At Governor Kathy Hochul state of the state speech. Almost nothing on the opioid crisis, despite fact that overdose deaths are at an all-time high for New York.

Kalin from OnPoint NYC and Jasmine from VOCAL-NY informing the NYS Senate about OPCs! #SCSA

Rest in Power, Sonya. The florist we called is going to deliver an arrangement to your services on a pedestal. Seems fitting. #HarmReduction

Every 90 minutes, one of us dies of a preventable overdose. Overdoses represent human beings. Their lives are valuable and can be saved. We need overdose prevention centers expanded now, Governor Kathy Hochul . EndOverdoseNY #OPCsNOW

Thanks for the reminder @DrKimSue. “#HarmReduction at its core is simply about love”
