How will @CMA_Docs apology help Jeff? After half a century of mistreatment that started with the 60s scoop has left him in a bad way. You took quality of life. You prob will take 20 years.

Safe supply will not worsen the toxic supply crisis. And prescribed #safesupply models don’t meet the needs of those at risk of death. @DULFBC tried provide a service to save lives & despite research that supports DULF’s work, they might face jail time for merely saving lives.

[shawn vulliez @wrong_shon]

One of the brutal things about the involuntary care thing from Eby is there’s going to be a narrative that Vancouver tried legal drugs, & it “didn’t work.” So then they got violent against drug users and it “did work.” - this narrative is setting up harm to drug users worldwide.

🚨CONTINUE TO STAND WITH ERIS & JEREMY 🚨

On July 30, 2024, Eris Nyx and Jeremy Kalicum pled not guilty to all three charges under Section 5 (2) of the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act (CDSA) and elected to pursue justice in the British Columbia Supreme Court. In addition to their plea, they are refusing any and all plea bargains offered by the state - both because they are innocent, and because Canada’s regressive drug policies need to be challenged.

This fight will take an incredible amount of time and resources!

The Drug User Liberation Front is fundraising to support our criminal defence. We have set an initial goal of $150,000, but we know our defence will ultimately cost more than that. As part of our defence we will challenge the constitutionality of the CDSA as applied to our compassion club. We will demonstrate that, by prohibiting practical access to a safer supply of drugs, the CDSA violates s. 7 (life, liberty and security of the person) and s. 15 (equality) of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

This constitutional challenge is a critically important opportunity to establish constitutional protections for safer supply as a harm reduction strategy in the face of this terrifying toxic drug crisis. It is clear that the politicians and bureaucrats will not protect the drug user community. Once again, we have to do it ourselves.

We ask that you join us by donating to our legal fund. Together we can transform Canada’s dangerous drug policies in order to save lives.
