Since launching our OPCs in Nov 2021, we intervened in 1,000+ overdoses. “No one has to die of a drug overdose. There are thousands of beautiful souls that are still with us today because of the intervention of our OPC staff," says our ED @samrivera1111. https://t.co/dCICNWKYp5

As champions of OPCs, @LindaBRosenthal & I hail @_OnPointNYC's 1000th OD intervention without a single death, a testament to their effectiveness & necessity. We have the tools, all we need is the will to bring these life-saving measures to NYers who need them. Full statement👇

A year after NYC opened the first sites for illicit drug users to use drugs under supervision, no others have opened, the funding is drying up and the Biden Administration’s silence on the issue has stalled their proliferation. https://t.co/ZAveE2SuG7
