JEFF PEARLMAN: “What’s happening in Tennessee is so disgraceful. It is so racist. Not just a little racist… you’re basically saying to Black people — you have no voice. Your voice doesn’t matter.”

@GreaterHarlem@GovKathyHochul@RepEspaillat All neighborhoods need addiction treatment programs. Addiction affects us all. Let's get treatment and recovery facilities in all New York City Council districts. Please support @LindaBRosenthal in getting more addiction programs and supervised injection sites in her district
After years of advocacy to raise concerns of the excessive density of drug treatment programs in Harlem, we are glad to reach an key milestone - a public acknowledgment of the issue of structural racism by the Governor @GovKathyHochul. Thank you @RepEspaillat for your leadership
Another example of #structuralracism in Harlem. UWS politicians put themselves in Housing and Health Committees and then place vulnerable individuals with mental health and addiction issues in Harlem, while placing seniors in UWS. Hypocrisy of the Democrat.
@DianaAyalaNYC@nycpix The alternative is to reduce density of harm reduction and drug treatment programs in Harlem, so drug users are more spread out and would not engage in open air drug scene here. Also we need to put people to dissuasion committees like in Portugal to deter open air drug use.
@Brian_A_Hackel@SDNYnews What a sick statement! You want to normalize this behavior, ITS NOT NORMAL!!! That’s why ppl are dying. We need drugs OFF OUR STREETS. No drugs=safer communities.
@GreaterHarlem We need more recovery centers, not venues that support drug use. When will those addicted to drugs get a chance to flourish? Not in a safe injection site, that’s for sure!
