Clear space in your mind to dream with us for a moment.



Harm reductionists are known for responsive work — creating safety where there isn’t enough, responding to harm and violence, redistributing resources, and sharing struggle. Surviving a system hostile toward people who use drugs is a daily grind.



We don’t get much shared space to dream of a future on our terms.



Harm Reduction Futures is about creating and holding that space together. We want to honor afro-futurist traditions of dreaming of futures free from oppression and imagine a future rooted in the principles of harm reduction — beyond surviving the racist drug war, toxic drug supply, and stigma toward people who use drugs.



Take a moment to reflect on two questions before you continue:


How has harm reduction transformed you?
What do you think a future rooted in harm reduction could look like?



We asked some community members and National Harm Reduction Coalition staff the same questions and worked with Radical Roadmaps to illustrate their responses for inspiration:

Let’s dream together! What do you think a future beyond survival would look like? Share an essay envisioning tools or programs that don’t exist yet, a video about a world without a drug war, a poem about possibilities — share what you imagine with us here.
