SACHR is beyond proud to have strong leaders like Attorney General Letitia James at the Office of the New York State Attorney General to stand up for what’s right.
Full quote from SACHR’s Founder and President Joyce Rivera:
“Indivior, the manufacturer behind the harm-inducing drug Opvee, bears responsibility for fueling the opioid crisis alongside Purdue and other corporations. Now, they have shifted their marketing and training strategies to skirt accountability by bypassing our State Department of Health to lure unsuspecting municipalities to use their product in overdose prevention programs,” said Joyce Rivera, Founder and President of St. Ann’s Corner of Harm Reduction.
“Let’s be clear: efforts to reduce drug overdoses must be based on science and not dictated by corporate interests or market trends. The illicit drug supply is in constant flux with varying amounts of opioids, stimulants, sedatives, and inert additives. True, sustainable overdose prevention services center harm reduction and are built on community-driven solutions shaped by the wisdom and lived experience of those most affected, not by the companies that helped create the crisis in the first place.”
