HARM REDUCTION IS LIBERATION.

WE ARE A GRASSROOTS COLLECTIVE.

We are a national, independent, and non-government affiliated grassroots collective of harm reductionists, organizers, activists, and advocates spanning across Canada. We envision a future world free of criminalization and oppression.

In the spirit of reciprocity, we support, raise awareness, and amplify harm reduction information, education, news and media, regional harm reduction service updates, calls for mutual aid, support for legal challenges, direct actions, and other intersectional social justice struggles.

As a coherent philosophy and set of pragmatic practices, harm reduction emerged from a careful, alchemical balance of death and durability, love and boundaries, creativity and loss, and survivorship and empowerment.

HARM REDUCTION

Every single toxic unregulated drug death is a policy failure, as well as every death related to criminalization, preventable communicable diseases, poverty, homelessness, stigma, hate, oppression, and violence. In the absence of any adequate, transformative, or sustainable responses from our governments, grassroots harm reduction remains essential to saving lives and promoting health and wellness related to substance use and sexual health directly in our communities.
