We’re so sorry - we can’t currently access our storage unit. 😫
Go see our friends at tonight at UCC church (2nd St & McDowell) from 7-9pm for all your harm reduction needs.

At this virtual formation building event, you will have an opportunity to meet and learn more about the providers leading these advocacy efforts and how their programming is vital to the health, safety, and wellness of our community. We will provide direction on different ways to engage with City of Phoenix leaders, as well as provide guidance as how to make the most of your engagement, as well as sample comments you can follow when composing your own. Everyone who wants to join in this important advocacy is welcome to come learn and join in the formation of wider advocacy efforts.

It’s time to meet your friendly* neighbourhood harm reductionists! From L—>R:

If you ever see us out and about, feel free to say hi and come talk to us about all things harm reduction. 🖤 We are people who use drugs, people who have lived experience, and/or people that simply love people who use drugs. We’re an all-volunteer & inclusive group composed of folks who are trans, q***r, indigenous & non-citizen immigrants.
We believe that everyone deserves bodily autonomy & should have the right to do whatever they want with their own bodies. We *know* that harm reduction saves lives, and that everyone deserves the right to BREATHE.
We also really suck at posting on our socials, so thanks for sticking it out with us. 😂
*OK, that’s debatable.

Our first Tuesday night site at the Phoenix Pride office was AWESOME. We gave out harm reduction supplies & drinks/snacks to 13 folks, which was more than we were expecting for our first night! Hopefully with word of mouth & more flyers out there we’ll be help more people in the weeks to come.
To be fair, it was also really nice just being able to relax & hang out together as a group, as we don’t get to do that often during our busy sites!
HUGE THANKS again to Phoenix Pride for hooking us up with this *perfect* spot to distro out of. Private property, centrally located, easily accessible… what more could we ask for? We’re so thankful to our community that *constantly* shows up and out for us as a group.

Honouring the life of JJ.
This month the life of one of our unsheltered community members was tragically lost in a shooting. The murder of an innocent houseless individual isn’t deem “worthy” enough to make the news, but that doesn’t mean that he wasn’t loved by many of his neighbours & friends, many of whom considered him family. Pastor Susan at led a beautiful little memorial this past Thursday evening for those individuals to remember him & share stories. It was a privilege to attend & show solidarity.
There were 39 candles to represent his 39 short years of life. His friends wrote notes and left flowers where he would sleep, and where he was sadly lost.
Just as importantly, we’re sending so much love to our friends at , who were by his side until his very last moments, showing him in the most important way that his life truly *did* matter. 🖤
