Support.Don't Punish

#SupportDontPunish is a global decentralised campaign building sustainable, rights-affirming alternatives to the harmful '#WarOnDrugs'.

[Support.Don't Punish @SDPcampaign]

On #IOAD, we grieve thousands. And that grief must fuel action 💜

People who use drugs, harm reductionists, families & friends keep each other alive on the daily. These efforts needs resourcing, not obstruction and criminalisation.

NO ONE IS DISPOSABLE.

💜 #IOAD is next Monday, 31 August — a moment to honour people who should still be with us, stand alongside harm reductionists keeping communities safe, and demand change.

Thematic segment of @UNAIDS' #PCB58 opened with a clear truth: Punishment blocks support.

Defunding care & aid, maintaining punitive measures & pushing communities to the margins derail the HIV response, cost lives.

The pandemic is not over. States must act!

Drug policy must protect life, not take it.🕯️

Ahead of #SupportDontPunish Day, more than 60 organisations call UN drug control bodies to unequivocally condemn the death penalty for drug offences.

As the use of capital punishment for drug offences soars, silence is complicity.

🇹🇭 Thanks to Supatra Nacapew, Commissioner of Thailand’s NHRC, for joining our global call: #SupportDontPunish 💚

A health & human rights advocate, Ms Nacapew champions drug policies that reject stigma and centre harm reduction.

🇨🇴 Amb. Marcela Tovar, Colombia’s Perm. Representative to the UN in Vienna, shared this snap for the campaign’s #PhotoProject 💚

Colombia has helped to centre #HarmReduction in UN drug policy discussions, incl. through the 1st CND resolution to name it!

Punishment has failed.

Just in time for #SupportDontPunish Day, a report by Ireland’s parliamentary Joint Committee on Drugs Use adds its voice to a growing global consensus: criminalising drug use is harmful!

Health and rights, not cages!

TODAY, WE SHOW UP for ourselves and each other! 💚

In 237+ cities of 72+ countries, 1000s of campaigners are reclaiming 26 June: from a day used to legitimise punishment and violence into a show of force for care, dignity and rights.

[Support.Don't Punish @SDPcampaign]

OUR MESSAGE WILL NOT BE IGNORED.
Harm reductionists know what keeps our people alive.

Not more cages or police cars. Not the so-called “tough love” that leaves people uprooted and alienated.

But communities meeting people where they are at, with care and autonomy.

[Support.Don't Punish @SDPcampaign]

To every organiser, peer worker, advocate, volunteer, artist and ally who mobilised this year — and across the previous fourteen — making our collective success truly global: YOU ARE THIS MOVEMENT. 💚

Speak up. Share. Donate. Document. Amplify.
