Statement and call to action from members of our Beyond Do No Harm Network—as they point out, coercion and involuntary treatment for substance use disorders violates the ethical obligations of their role as health care workers, "undermines human rights, and will increase, not reduce, harm":
We Refuse: Health Workers Against Involuntary Care is now public.
@hrna.bsky.social and DSDP are circulating a joint statement opposing BC’s plan to expand involuntary drug treatment. This approach is ineffective, increases overdose risk, violates autonomy, and harms marginalized communities.

This Tuesday, December 16, the PA House of Representatives will vote on HB 150, a bill that would allow incarcerated people who are very sick to petition the courts for medical release.
Please take a moment today to call your reps and ask them to vote YES on HB 150!

Philadelphia City Council is moving to ban mobile services, including vans offering first aid and free food, from areas surrounding Kensington.
The only way to read this is that city leaders really want drug users to die.

Philly moves to ban mobile addiction services from parts of Kensington and most of the Lower Northeast
It’s the second time City Council appeared poised to restrict mobile service providers, which are groups that operate out of vans or trucks and offer a range of assistance to people in need.

We are eagerly awaiting the PA Supreme Court's ruling on our case with @abolitionistlawcenter.org and @ccrjustice.org claiming Death By Incarceration for felony murder is unconstitutional.

As many have pointed out, Mamdani didn't stand apart from our trans brothers and sisters. He didn't play the "Gee, gosh, it sure is complicated," milquetoast moderate card. And he crushed.
The way forward is together, not over the bodies of our own.

We cannot accept a government that doesn’t support mercy for aging people in prison. With geriatric people making up over 27% of those locked up in PA prisons, the PA House must pass HB 150 to offer parole review to people with serious medical conditions.

I'm trying to understand why multiple people I know who have or are going to give birth this year and are healthcare professionals don't have paid parental leave. Why isn't this the standard in healthcare of all places????

This is shameful and utterly cruel: After spending 40 years locked up in a PA prison, all charges against Subramanyam Vedam were dropped. But instead of coming home to his family on Friday, he was transferred directly into ICE custody.

He served over 40 years in prison until his case was dropped. Then, ICE detained him.
Murder charges against Subramanyam Vedam were dropped after he served decades in the State Correctional Institution at Huntingdon.
