🕯️International Overdose Awareness Day, August 31 🕯️
Drug poisoning is not a personal or moral failure. It is the result of a public health crisis that has been met with stigma, criminalization and systemic neglect. We live in a world where policies STILL prioritize punishment over support, where evidence based solutions like Harm Reduction, Safe Supply, Safe Consumption and decriminalization are undermined by fear and misinformation.
Until we respond with care instead of judgement, the losses will continue.
Join us in honouring the lives lost to overdose and in standing fiercely for those still with us!
💜 This day is about grief without stigma.
💪 It’s about action without shame.
🫂 And it’s about love without judgment.
