We must end the stigma associated with the disease of addiction and continue to provide safe and proven methods of treating people. The Atlantic City Council's decision is misguided and short sighted. @GovMurphy@VNACJCHC@vnaprn@GSEquality@vingopal

We know that SSPs provide more than clean needles; they provide recovery options, access to health insurance and housing. And we know they're vital to ending the HIV epidemic.
New Jersey leaders must do what's right and #SaveOasis. Lives depend on it. https://t.co/e5dNLVZLzp
Help us #SaveOasis! 🚨
Community leaders, policy experts, & impacted voices will call on the Atlantic City Council to vote NO on the ordinance to close Oasis and, instead, work with @SJAIDSAlliance to find a new, fixed location.

A7. Our Harm Reduction Centers aren't having the same face to face contact that builds relationships with the population we serve.
Funding would provide more PPE, Nalaxone, food, housing, drug treatment admittance and some forms of harm reduction telehealth #HarmReductionNow
Increase staffing and services, provide mental health treatment needs in our buildings and out in the community, increase community engagement, expansion of programs. #harmreductionnow
Harm reduction serves all PWUD and not just people who are ready to recover. Instead of focusing on the 9% of people ready to go into treatment we can serve all 100% of people who use substances #harmreductionnow
Harm reduction services allows to serve all PWUD populations regardless of their stage of substance use. It provides life save strategies and services to PWUD and their families. In the mist of #COVID19 it is now more important to increase there services #harmreductionnow
Increase services to the PWUD communities. Promote harm reduction as a form of treatment instead of a band-aide solution. Start viewing PWUD as people not plagues to society. #harmreductionnow
Harm Reduction centers are trusted by the community and traditional services provided by hospitals and emergency rooms are being provided by Harm Reduction Centers. Harm Reduction Centers are also contributing to the #COVID19 response #HarmReductionNow
Due to #covid19 less people are willing to come to offices to receive harm reduction services. We need the ability to meet our communities where they are at and go out into the communities. Increase health disparities increases usage. We need HR programs now more than ever
Overdoses are going up, SSPs offer overdose prevention and narcan. Also with limited access for homeless clients for telehealth options, harm reduction services are needed now more than ever.
