These tools indicate a person who cares about their health and well being while using and those of others. Not someone who wants or needs to be criminalized. Pass SB762 @SenBillFerg@Willcsmithjr#decrimourworks#Oscars
Busy day in Annapolis yesterday.
Kudos to our @bridges4OPS on providing testimony in hearings for both Overdose Prevention Sites (HB953) & Paraphernalia Decriminalization (HB173).
It is the time to save lives is NOW!
#OPSSavesLives#DecrimOurWorks
“The way we have dealt with people who use drugs & looking at them as inherently criminal is wrong. Baltimoreans deserve better. We owe it to ourselves, to our city & to those we’ve lost to overdose. That’s why I’m fully support OPS.” @MayorBMScott at @bridges4OPS press conf.
“There’s never been a death at an OPS. It is my hope that we are posed to be the next city to adopt these site. Tens of thousand of lives are at stake. We should not wait a moment longer to implement public health solutions that save lives.” @TheOfficialDocD@bridges4OPS
“In Annapolis, we were told that no one in MD or Baltimore would want an OPS on their block - we responded with a resounding ‘YES on my Block!’
And we invite you to join us.”

Baltimore City’s CDC COVID-19 Community Level has been changed from Low to Medium. Don't let the word "medium" fool you.
Mask up! For real, for real. Hang out outdoors instead of in, whenever possible. If indoors wear a mask.

We could really use some new, adult socks!
Folks experiencing homelessness really need fresh socks pretty often in order to prevent foot issues, decrease pain, and keep feet dry.
Hit us up if you can help out with any new socks!

We all agree we want less syringe litter and certainly we agree we want LESS DEATH, so make it easier for people to carry their supplies back to a safe disposal location.

Thank you to racial justice warrior, Senator @jillpcarter, for fighting to increase safety, reduce OD death, and keep pushing her colleagues to care for the people. #decrimourworks#racialjustice#Maryland
If we want to “stem the flow of overdose deaths,” let's start following practical evidence-based solutions. Decriminalizing paraphernalia is one step forward #drugpolicy#decrimourworks@SenBillFerg
Every single dollar we spend on criminalizing drug paraphernalia is a dollar we could spend on saving lives @SenBillFerg Pass HB481/SB509 and #decrimourworks@BmoreHRC
