RETWEET: In his 2019 budget @GavinNewsom invested in Narcan and in #harmreduction programs to train high-risk drug users on how to use the medication to reverse overdoses. That synergy saved lives, but funding for staff is running out. #CABudget #Fentanyl https://t.co/kQ7Q12pNAR

California Harm Reduction Programs are the backbone of overdose prevention efforts, so why are we threatened to losing staffing? Why aren’t we in the Governors budget? #CALeg #CABudget #Fentanyl #OD #HarmReduction https://t.co/dLDeyN84d3

“I was tired of losing people, I was tired of losing my friends so I started nailing naloxone on trees. If it isn’t accessible it’s not going to work. They wants to take away harm reduction funding, the only thing that brought life back to skid row” - Riley, Sidewalk Project

People released from California prisons may be provided with Narcan to reduce overdose risk. Michael Vera helped saved another man's life at a drug treatment center thank to training and medication. #OD #fentanyl #harmreduction #CALeg #CABudget https://t.co/ALv1lQG4LX

“There is a big push in the Capitol this year to criminalize drug use, to treat overdose as a criminal issue as if that’s going to stop people from using drugs. That has never ever worked.” @Scott_Wiener #FundHarmReduction #ETEDayOfAction #CASEPcoalition
