International Overdose Awareness Day

Today is August 31st, International Overdose Awareness Day (IOAD). Kris and Marc provide a debrief of Jessica's Walk for Overdose Awareness which was held last Friday, downtown Greenville, SC. This event follows the principles of IOAD and calls for compassion over punishment. This year's event had a special surprise with a proclamation from the City of Greenville. We'd like to thank all of those who attended the event or have brought awarness and advocacy to their community. Overdose is preventable but we need policies that support people who use drugs. For more info on overdose awareness day visit. www.overdoseday.comFor more info on safer smoking supplies visit. www.smokeworks.orgFor more info on harm reduction in South Carolina visit www.challengesinc.org As always, thank you to Counter Narrative Project for their ongoing support with our podcast. https://thecounternarrative.org/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-needle-and-the-narrative--1518412/support.
