“Enabling” is a scary word for loved ones and family members of people in or seeking recovery, especially when we’re told mixed messages about what enabling truly is. Rest assured, giving people the tools and resources to stay alive is NOT enabling, it’s healthcare.

RIP to your greatness..

Remembering Dan Bigg:

Beloved Harm Reduction Family,

When we received the news of Dan Bigg’s passing yesterday morning, time stood still for a brief moment.

Over the past 24 hours, we’ve watched and taken part in the grief that is rolling through our community because of how much he touched our lives. Dan was one of the most brilliant, fearless, and funniest people we’ve ever known. He was there at the beginning of the harm reduction movement in the United States, influencing its direction and shaping our values. As the architect of naloxone distribution in this country and beyond, he is directly responsible for saving hundreds of lives and indirectly responsible for tens of thousands more. He took up space, commanded attention, and created change.

Losing Dan is a huge blow for us all, but also a reminder of how much more work there is left to do. So take time to care for yourselves and each other. And then remember to get up, get out, and continue soldiering on. ‘Cause that’s what Dan would’ve done.

In Love and Solidarity,

Harm Reduction Coalition

Fentanyl is a big culprit, but there are also encouraging signs from states that have prioritized public health campaigns and addiction treatment.

We have been doing it wrong all along... but that doesn't mean we can't start making smart changes now to our drug education paradigm.

Rhana Hashemi is the site coordinator for drug and alcohol programs and services for Oakland Unified School District. But, to her students, she is just “the drug lady.”

Today, we have a world where we can say: “I’m proud to be a woman” and “I’m proud to be gay.” But we can’t say: “I’m a drug-user.”
