We filed a brief alongside @FreedomFundCO in support of a defendant facing a jail sentence 36 times longer and fines nine times higher than allowed by state law.

[BetCraft @betcraft5]

@ColoradoDPC Sadly, I think this is the reason.

[BetCraft @betcraft5]

@ColoradoDPC @ASAMorg We live in complacency. We need #ACTUP energy and #opcs now. This is a public health crisis. 8% and 11% are nothing to celebrate. My friend just died last month.

Drug decrim in Oregon was NOT associated with increased overdose deaths. (In case anyone needs more data to add to the mountains of data that already exists). If only US drug policies were data and science driven.... https://t.co/EjPSR8zkC5.

This is so important. Now more than ever. Thank you @kbg_1989 @ccjrc1

"Going to jail shouldn’t mean you lose your say in our democracy—that’s the thinking behind a new state law requiring jails to offer an in-person opportunity to vote, making Colorado the only state in the nation to require jails to offer in-person voting."

Back in 1997 the City of Denver capped the number of syringe access programs to 3 total. They had no way to know then how the population would grow, nor could they predict the devastating overdose crisis we're in right now.

It's time for an update.

Harm reduction activists in Denver stood up a pop-up Overdose Prevention Center today at Civic Center Park, joining similar actions across the country as part of #OPCSolidarity Week.

@CMK_MSN @DrSarahAxelrath @HRAC_Denver @actup2exist @pauljchristine @HannanBraun @shananigans2121 @a_goodman7 @SavageSister215 Thank you so much for sharing. We (Pwud/advocates) gotta stick together. Good for you for reaching out for help. It's not easy. My heart goes out to those in Kensington.
Thank you @SavageSister215 for your lifesaving work.

@CMK_MSN @DrSarahAxelrath @HRAC_Denver @actup2exist @pauljchristine @HannanBraun @shananigans2121 @a_goodman7 @SavageSister215 💯💜📣 would be a great group to connect with!

[BetCraft @betcraft5]

Today was everything because of Denver's strong harm reduction advocate community. We prioritize health & safety over all else because that is how it should be. We refuse to stand by and watch our people die. We demand our state leaders to authorize & fund #opcs now!

@OverdoseDay #OPCSolidarity from Denver, CO

[BetCraft @betcraft5]

It's not complicated & it should not be controversial - we are talking about giving oxygen in the event of a medical emergency! Stop prioritizing awareness over saving lives. At this point, just get out of our way because we are going to save our people. Period. #opcsolidarity
