Yet another acknowledgement from a high ranking #UN official that police killings are intrinsically linked to the enforcement of drug prohibition, which is disproportionately targeting people of African descent, Indigenous peoples and people of color #DecrimTheSystem
Outgoing Special Rapporteur on extrajudicial executions offers reflections on her 5 yrs of work: “the largest number of police killings occurred in the context of so-called wars on drugs…” disproportionately affecting minorities: https://t.co/pVfghee56H T/H @erge17
FUCDUP And Other Community Members Are Coming Together To Help Start A Committee On Opening An Overdose Prevention Site!We Cannot Stand By While People Who Use Drugs Die All Because Our Government Knows The Problem And How To Fix It But Won���t So It’s Up To Us! #decrimthesystem
I think everyone needs to listen to this. Listen to understand, not to respond. #decrimthesystem
"People begin using drugs seeking comfort, or pleasure, or due to having a hard time in life. So what is the point in criminalising them? Because it actually makes everything worse."
Great words from Andria on why we need to #DecrimTheSystem NOW #PeersInThePandemic
YES! So great to see drug user representation in policymaking, a welcome change from the norm.
Imagine how many lives could be saved if more peers were involved in the decision making which critical affects their lives? #PeersInThePandemic #DecrimTheSystem #PowerOfPeers
I must say that this was a highlight in my little drug policy career so far, I got to share it with Peter Leslie but also Senator Cindy Friedman. Who would of thunk a fentanyl user from little of Halifax would be on a Policy Roundtable with state a legislator?

In constrast to @UNAIDS we are still waiting to see the #HumanRightsDay statement from @UNODC and @GhadaFathiWaly calling out the human rights violations initiated to uphold criminalisation
#PeersInThePandemic #DecrimTheSystem
Last week 109 NGOs called on @UNODC and @GhadaFathiWaly to speak loud and clear on #HumanRightsDay2020 against human rights violations committed in the name of drug control.
It's #HumanRightsDay. We are still waiting...

A welcome call for #decriminalisation from @Winnie_Byanyima and @UNAIDS on this #HumanRightsDay. Key populations can only begin to heal from the harms of criminalisation when we've moved to #DecrimTheSystem #PeersInThePandemic #COVID19
"When criminal law is used badly, it can harm when we need to help, it can oppress when we need to enable, and far from being neutral, it creates & amplifies existing discrimination & inequalities," says UNAIDS Executive Director @Winnie_Byanyima in her #HumanRightsDay statement.
#COVID19 lockdown measures increasing police attention towards people who use drugs proves prohibition was always about social control and never about drugs #DecrimTheSystem #PeersInThePandemic
Last year @CAPUDofficial published this excellent document on the concept of #SafeSupply, a crucial element in public health for peers which must be approached thoughtfully. #PeersInThePandemic #DecrimTheSystem #HarmReduction #COVID19

Portugal's #Decriminalisation policy is often praised, but how has it worked in practice? Our 2018 community evaluation of Portugal's decrim model covers the positive outcomes and shortcomings from a peer perspective

"Therein lies the power of integrating people who use drugs directly into research as equals and as leaders: they help everyone see the forest for the trees."

What do we mean by #DecrimTheSystem?
It means #SafeSupply, unimpeded access to #HarmReduction, expungement of criminal records, restitution to communities, recognizing the rights of peers and our critical role in society
What does #Decrim mean to you? #PeersInThePandemic
#Rwot #COVID19 lockdown measures have forced people who use drugs into high exposure environments. A #SafeSupply could prevent this. #DecrimTheSystem #PeersInThePandemic #EndtheDrugWar #HarmReduction @RwandaHealth @RBCRwanda @nsanzimanasabin @DrDanielNgamije @INPUD @HDIRwanda
@INPUD’s last campaign day says it all...#DecrimTheSystem. It can’t just be decriminalizing drugs, we need to completely revitalize the whole system, healthcare, housing, education, etc.
Let’s make 2021 about Decriminalizing All of the Systems!
Our final #PeersInThePandemic campaign demand: #DecrimTheSystem
Failing to meaningfully act on the decriminalisation of all drugs means peers will never be free of stigma or harm. ALL elements of the criminal justice system must be removed from the lives of people who use drugs
