We sell merch to be able to purchase supplies for folks in Iowa who want to have an idea of what is in their drug supply. This is two different folks who use stimulants and as you can see both have a positive fentanyl read. This methamphetamine was bought in Polk County.

[Carver College of Medicine @IowaMed]

All year round, our students work toward bettering the community. Recently, some of our medical students packed 300 naloxone kits and 100 safe snorting kits for @IAHarmReduction. We’re so proud of their harm reduction efforts!

Change is happening @IowaMed! Last fall the MD c/o 2021 petitioned our administration to integrate MAT (X waiver) certification into our curriculum. Nearly 90% of the class undersigned. 4 months later, we are seeing what addiction treatment advocacy can do! #harmreduction

[Iowa Harm Reduction Coalition @IAHarmReduction]

Cooking up some #harmreduction #injectionalternatives kits in the office today. If you’re in Iowa outside the Cedar Rapids/Iowa City or Des Moines areas fill out our mail order form to get safe snorting kits for you and your friends! (https://t.co/42rVMwLyJA)

At least 37 transgender or gender non-conforming people have been killed this year, making 2020 the most deadly year on record. This #TransDayOfRemembrance, we must honor their lives by taking action to end this epidemic of violence. https://t.co/b9CFMBEk43

[Amnesty International @amnesty]

Today is #TransDayOfRemembrance. We call on governments around the world to fulfil their responsibilities to act in legally just, morally correct, and ultimately human ways to protect the rights of trans people, during the pandemic and beyond.

Trans rights are human rights.

If you want to honor #Veterans, deploy what works to prevent overdose. Harm reduction saves lives, including many veterans

Homelessness and suicide too

What a difference, driving through Cedar Rapids in my mom’s car instead of mine. First time not being pulled over in a while. What exactly does overpolicing a kid with needles and naloxone do for the community? #harmreduction

Kim Reynolds just out here winging it when it comes to her #COVID19 response. - Donald gotta go in November for sure, but Kim gotta go too next cycle if we ever hope to have a healthy, prosperous state again. #iapolitics #iagov

[Des Moines Register @DMRegister]

Opinion: Matthew Bruce of @DesMoinesBLM has been standing up for Black liberation from an early age, writes @rekhabasu. Is that why police view him as such a threat? https://t.co/Hgrs35pYuS
