Join OnPoint NYC as our next Associate Director of Low Threshold Services. We’re seeking a detail-oriented supervisor with harm reduction experience to grow dynamic, effective programming. Applicants with lived experience & Spanish proficiency encouraged.

Coming from the guy who thinks it's ok to "kill Em" when referring to the homeless population. You can't make this stuff up. 🤯

“If you’re detained or arrested, ask for a lawyer and remain silent.” Memphis harm reductionists are preparing, including by giving advice to vulnerable people, in anticipation of Trump's troop deployment, reports @TanaGaneva: https://t.co/m0N1yDFvGe

MY LATEST: ‘A battle for who belongs’: Downtown Toronto condo suing charity next door for $2.3 million https://t.co/nmHEGD9znB

Antifascism has existed as long as there has been fascism. And will continue to.

Almost 300,000 Ontario patients left emergency rooms without treatment last year, according to a new report. "Every Ontario taxpayer is paying for access to healthcare, especially when lives are on the line," said @ShamjiAdil. "Under this government, they are not getting that."

This isn't the first time Toronto residents have sued a charity b/c of their homeless clients. This is misdirected rage at a whole sociodemographic group — homeless people — whose existence is driven by bad government policy, not agencies providing relief.

Trump signs order pushing cities and states to remove homeless people from streets. They'll be sent to treatment facilities that he won't fund and don't exist. https://t.co/iNJRfSDN2Z via @usatoday

Trump's "Ending Vagrancy and Restoring Order" directs federal agencies to defund communities that don’t criminalize visible poverty — and reward those that do. It makes housing access contingent on "acceptable" behaviours. It defunds harm reduction. It will be deadly.

I used to respond to at least one overdose a week, sometimes two or three when I worked in a drop-in centre before supervised consumption sites were opened. They opened *because* we were crawling under bathroom stall doors to save lives. And now we're back to doing it again.

Trump and lawmakers “act like they’re actually doing something, when they’re actually gutting federal programs and agencies that work to support people with substance use disorder,” said DPA’s Federal Affairs Director Maritza Perez Medina

isn't it like, patriotic or something to invest in our public institutions? is that what elbows up is? or is it gutting via rail until the trains are so slow that it takes 3 days to get from here to Montreal (up from the current time of 2 days)?

A reminder that @fordnation's HART Hubs, which do not replicate supervised consumption sites, still have no funding. Ford also has not distributed the COHB — a rent supplement program — this year. He criminalizes homelessness, yet lends zero support.

Politicians like these are floundering, so they gravitate toward the easy politics of opposing social infrastructure — and shelters especially. Why is @BradMBradford undermining his Council colleagues and City staff to bolster fringe voices instead of doing his job?

Public infrastructure like bike lanes and shelters save lives and improve safety. And despite today's protest from anti-transit, anti-shelter proponents — just 30 of them — they did not stop six new shelter sites from moving forward this afternoon. Good.

This is shocking. Since @fordnation shut down supervised consumption sites, drop-in programs are seeing massive increases in overdoses — including a 288% increase just last month. Overdoses don't go away; they get moved to spaces with fewer supports and resources.

In Aug of 2017, we opened Ontario's first overdose prevention site. We were burning out from having to respond to overdoses without the resources we needed. This emergency should not be downloaded on to drop in workers. The province needs to reopen Supervised Consumption Services

Trump’s proposed funding cuts to overdose prevention services like naloxone are unacceptable. DPA federal policy manager Hanna Sharif-Kazemi spoke to CBS about how cuts put lives at risk and jeopardize the progress we’ve made curbing the overdose crisis.

I will be making a statement shortly on the next steps I plan to take after this three year legal nightmare and the lawfare from Ms Sa'd and her "colleagues" and collaborators against many activists. Thank you so much to Megan Schwartzenruber, Ben and her team, and to Elisa who
