Harm accelerationists like @eengler17 might be able to block our board members for criticizing him in public, but he won't be able to ignore ours and @momsstoptheharm court challenge so easily. Albertans deserve equitable access to life saving measures like SCS and safe supply.

My friend Erica asked if I would share this on Twitter about the SCS closure. She was the site manager of Boyle Street SCS, please read 👇

LOPS still does not have any government funding. We rely solely on donations from the community at this time. Help us continue to reduce drug related harm in Lethbridge httpss://gofund.me/c2099833

Thread by @dr_jdlivingston: 🚨 New Article 🚨 dissects the criminological components of Alberta's Supervised Consumption Site (SCS) Report. I'll summarize and extrapolate below. 🧵 1/15 (Spoiler alert: SCSs don't cause crime)... https://t.co/1Bkym9kgnV

We are calling a lopsdown! In order to keep our clients, volunteers, and community safe, LOPS has made the difficult decision that will be putting all our operations on pause until it is safe to resume.

[Lethbridge OPS @LethbridgeOps]

Good things are coming! We will be back soon!

This is literally more than 1000x larger than the Lethbridge SCS’s accounting errors they used to justify its shutdown.

“The fact that for somebody who is homeless, the median age of death for someone is about half of the life expectancy for the average British Columbian, just amplifies the failure of our government to take care of its people.”

Couldn't have said it better!

[guyfelicella🇨🇦🍁 @guyfelicella]

There's a ideological opposition towards people who use drugs, and this has put harm reduction services at risk. Just ask @PeterKrykant who was arrested in #Glasgow for trying to reduce harms and @LethbridgeOps who are fighting for SCS/OPS. @MyPOV_Online

2) Spending 50% of the @lethpolice watching @LethbridgeOps do nothing illegal is grandstanding misappropriation #WarOnDrugs
