📢📢📢👇 “The bottom line is that overdose prevention sites — which exist in more than 100 cities around the world — offer compassion for fellow human beings. Our job as a city is to support efforts to alleviate suffering & to save lives.” -@PhillyMayor inquirer.com/news/philadelp…

A brief, perfect response to the @BostonGlobe article this week about MA creating new SPOT-like over-sedation monitoring rooms written by my friend, dedicated #SCS / #SIF organizer & fellow co-founder of @SIFMA_NOW - @ParakoiJim. #MApoli listen up! edition.pagesuite.com/popovers/dynam…

Ready to talk about #safeconsumptionsites here at the “Applying 35 Years of HIV Work to the Substance Use Experience” conference! #HIVSUDBoston @NEAETC @SIFMA_NOW
@BOSUsersUnion Thanks for talking today, and we're looking forward to continuing to work with y'all ☺️
@BOSUsersUnion @andy_hyatt_ @The_BMC @melanie_fritz_ We'd really like to meet with you soon and discuss how we can change that & be better supporters of all the work you're doing moving forward. Can one of us reach out to you via DM (or however you'd like) to set something up? Thanks for everything you do. (2/2)
@BOSUsersUnion @andy_hyatt_ @The_BMC Hey everyone, this is @melanie_fritz_, as the person mostly managing the @MassSCA Twitter account. Andy's right that we aren't involved in organizing this event, but I realize that people in the field of medicine haven't prioritized your voices - and we need to. (1/2)

Thank you ALL! The March on the Mile was amazing thanks to everyone who showed up. All of your support was empowering for our union members who made this happen. But we still need to end #OperationCleanSweep & support each other. Here are some takeaways & ways to take action:
As the world observes International Overdose Awareness Day, we are joining with our fellow members of @StopOpioidOD to recommit ourselves to advocating for policy solutions that address America’s deadly opioid overdose epidemic: ow.ly/ovSD50vwAB7 #EndOverdose
There's an amazing group of folks on this proposed #SXSW panel about reducing overdose deaths, including @DanCiccarone @haffajee_r @DrSarahWakeman - please join us in voting below to make it happen! shar.es/aXva1Q

Kudos to the @BostonGlobe Editorial Board for highlighting an important fact: we need safe-injection sites in Massachusetts to save more lives and help people get the care and treatment they desperately need. #mapoli bostonglobe.com/opinion/editor…

❤ these from @StreetHealthOPS Junkie is a slur Crackhead is a slur These words are rooted in classism, racism & ableism. They are used to dehumanize & harm people who use drugs & people living in poverty. It's time to #TakeAStand & #EndTheStigma against people who use drugs.
"Some [people] won't or can't stop using... They're still people, worthy of respect- and healthcare. And if someone cuts back on drug use, or learns to inject safely to avoid deadly infections, that's cause for celebration, too." (5/5)
"People need jobs and housing!" (4/5)
Thanks @felicejfreyer for sharing your thoughts! Some highlights below from her piece on lessons learned from covering the opioid crisis in MA as a journalist (1/5)
I’m heartened by the compassion and resolve of caregivers, and the courage and resilience of those struggling with addiction. bostonglobe.com/metro/2019/07/… via @BostonGlobe
