Brown School of Public Health Graduate Student Council

Brown School of Public Health Graduate Student Council updated their address.

We are incredibly thankful for Annajane Yolken, Dennis Bailer, and Ashley Perry from Project Weber/RENEW for sharing their deep insights about activism and opportunities in Rhode Island at the intersection of policing and public health at the Graduate Student Council (GSC) sponsored event.

The GSC will match up to $500 in donations to Project Weber/RENEW, so we would encourage our members of the audience to consider donating to the phenomenal organization that our speakers represent. Donations can be submitted here: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=NAH73XH335BJA

Project Weber/RENEW is a peer-based organization that provides a full range of harm reduction, recovery, and basic needs services to men, women, and transgender members of our community. The direct services provided by Project Weber/RENEW include overdose prevention, harm reduction, HIV/Hep C prevention and testing, case management, basic needs, support groups, and access to health and recovery services. Your donation – no matter how small – along with the Graduate Student Council match of up to $500 will go a long way to improve the health and well-being of people belonging to really vulnerable groups in Rhode Island, so we hope that you will consider donating.

Donate to Project Weber/RENEW Help support Project Weber/RENEW by donating or sharing with your friends.
