🔥 Our Support Don’t Punish 2025 webinar kept building energy as it went. Voices from around the world came together to share truth, strategy, and solidarity.

This global conversation was a collective resistance that left us feeling connection and love for PWUD worldwide.

COMRADE APPRECIATION POST!! We’re not just “peer researchers.” We out ourselves as PWLLE because governments only listen when there’s data. That’s how we’ve won naloxone, SCS’s, and harm reduction supplies by turning our lived experience into evidence.

We are bringing together international speakers to provide an opportunity to not only amplify local campaigns, but to weave them into a global panel to discuss what Punishment and Support mean and how they manifest across different regions across the world.

It’s messed up because we know Harm Reduction is backed by decades of research. Here’s another reminder of why it saves lives (we sound like a broken record but we will never stop!!)

We’ve had a hard go across Canada the past few years —SCS’s being shut down, loss of safe supply, loss of decrim, implementation of forced treatment, abstinence only Alberta model, encampment sweeps and defunding of harm reduction orgs… the list goes on.
