#GivingTuesday is a global movement to celebrate year-end charitable giving. This year we’re aiming to raise funds specifically for conference scholarships for people who, without this support, are unable to attend next year’s National Harm Reduction Conference in San Juan, Puerto Rico from October 15 - 18, 2020.
Every conference year, priority is given to people who use or have used drugs, living with HIV/AIDS or hepatitis C, people of color, young people, people engaged in sex work, transgender and gender non-conforming folks. But there are always more requests than we can support and we’re faced with having to reject some scholarship applications due to financial constraints, red tape, and a culture of scarcity that limits access to those who have resources. But the truth is that there are enough resources - it’s just a matter of how they’re distributed!
This year, we’re inviting you to help support our community by making a donation to Harm Reduction Coalition #GivingTuesday. Beginning at midnight on December 3, please visit our website and make a donation to give the gift of connection. Join us as we shift toward a culture of abundance. Every dollar you give means more people with lived experience can participate in the rich, diverse, and nurturing space that is the National Harm Reduction Conference.
