Open Request for Proposal:

HepConnect Initiative Consultant ([link removed])

The National Harm Reduction Conference has never been just a conference. It is where the harm reduction community holds our collective knowledge and stands in powerful relationship.

We've been prioritizing that knowledge, and the safety and health of our community while we made decisions regarding #HarmRed20.

After thoughtful consideration, we have decided to postpone #HarmRed20. When the time is right, we will hold each other again.
