We work to advance harm reduction & drug policy reform in NJ. We are people who use drugs, people who used to use drugs, & people harmed by the racist drug war.
We are experiencing an emergent drug supply disruption in South Jersey: On 4/27, the US Attorney’s Office District of NJ shut down a pain treatment practice in Cherry Hill that was serving 300-400 patients across Camden, Burlington, Ocean, Cape May, & Gloucester Counties 🧵
Harm reduction saves lives.
It’s no coincidence that overdose deaths finally started to decline in New Jersey after the state expanded harm reduction services.
Big shout out to @jennamellor and @NJHarmReduction—for changing laws *and* distributing 100k overdose prevention kits!
P.S. We haven't been on here for awhile as we're building up our internal direct service & advocacy infrastructure, so glad to be back with this exciting news.
🎉We're hiring!🎉
Please share widely to help us recruit a Dev't & Communications Coordinator & Program Associate for our Statewide Harm Reduction Center!

@ACLUNJ We’re hearing the importance of not making artificial distinctions between people who use drugs & small-time drug sellers.
Under our system of criminalization, that’s often the same person.
