Introducing our Interim Executive Director Joann Gomez!
Joann has worked in Harm Reduction since 2013, but NEXT Distro holds a special place in her heart as she remembers our humble beginnings and is amazed at how far the organization has come.
We welcomes Joann with open arms
Harm reduction is a crucial part of this struggle. By centering the needs and voices of Black queer communities, we can create safer, more supportive spaces. Everyone deserves the right to make decisions about their own bodies, free from stigma and discrimination.
The fight for bodily autonomy is deeply rooted in Black queer history. From resisting medical racism to demanding the right to gender affirming care, Black queer folks have fought tirelessly for control over their own bodies.
The resilience and solidarity shown during the HIV/AIDS epidemic continue to inspire harm reduction movements. Both are testaments to the strength of community-driven responses in creating change and saving lives.
When the HIV/AIDS crisis hit, the queer community faced not only a deadly virus but also widespread discrimination and neglect. With limited support from mainstream society and the government, they took matters into their own hands.
Just as the queer community mobilized during the HIV/AIDS epidemic, harm reduction initiatives rely on grassroots efforts to combat the stigma and risks associated with drug use. It’s about meeting people where they are and supporting them without judgment.
