🚨ACTION LAB RELEASE 🚨
In collaboration with the CPHLR, we've released a new visual dataset mapping drug-induced homicide (DIH) laws across the U.S.

Understanding the wide range of DIH laws reveals their impact on communities, overdose prevention, and justice

Clear data can drive informed, equitable policy change

[The Action Lab at Northeastern University @HiJAction]

We must use strategies that prioritize compassion and effectiveness over punishment

[The Action Lab at Northeastern University @HiJAction]

🚨 NEW ACTION LAB ARTICLE 🚨
Thread: Examining involuntary commitment for Substance Use Disorder (SUD) as a response to the overdose crisis.

Is it truly the humane alternative to incarceration it claims to be?

[The Action Lab at Northeastern University @HiJAction]

We must move away from institutionalization and toward voluntary, outpatient, evidence-driven care

These alternatives offer an effective, science-based path to recovery without the risks of coercive practices
