This week our staff notified us of their intent to form a union, and we are proud to voluntarily recognize them. We fully support the right for all workers to unionize, and believe in the critical nature of unions to improve public health and safety.

Good morning, please enjoy this thread of Pedro Pascal as #naloxone, along with some facts! Naloxone is a medicine that temporarily blocks the effects of opioids and can reverse an opioid overdose. Find out how to get & use it here: https://t.co/1ZX7y0Awjv

👍🏻 @US_FDA approved NARCAN® for over-the-counter sale. This will save lives by greatly improving access to a safe life-saving medication. @EmergentCDMO will decide how & how quickly the retail transition will take place, hopefully soon. FAQ's ➡️ @spw_az

It's extremely irresponsible that @HarmReduction has made it so difficult to access this conference for the orgs with the fewest structural resources in the highest risk communities & with zero advance warning of registration caps.
