Hello ,

On behalf of all of us at National Harm Reduction Coalition, People’s Action, Drug Policy Alliance and VOCAL NY, we want to say thank you, thank you, thank you! Thank you for showing up to amplify, engage, and uplift stories from the field. Across our six diverse events, almost 1,000 attendees joined us and so many took action; when given the opportunity to connect, share, and build-you all rose to the challenge. 

Check out this incredibly inspiring video summarizing the week of action.

We invite you to join us in CELEBRATION of the incredible week by sharing about the Week of Action on you social media channels and using #HRWeekofAction. You’re welcome to craft your own post about what this week meant to you or to choose your favorite posts from our social media toolkit.

QUICK ACTION ITEM

What would an advocacy follow up email be without a quick call to action?

Take a minute to sign this petition to urge Congress to pass the MAT act!

We hope that you learned something throughout your time with us and it inspired you to take action in support of harm reduction and ending the drug war. We look forward to seeing you all in this fight for the long-term. Feel free to reach out with any additional questions or feedback. 

In solidarity,

Michelle Wright (Director of Policy & Advocacy), Alyshia Gonzalez (Community Mobilization Manager), and the National Harm Reduction Coalition team
