Had to repost this. It’s a great message, thanks Ben Phillips for sending it to us.

Another version is: When people who use drugs have human rights, everyone will.

In the best spirit of “last mile” thinking: Start with us, and see the world change in wonderful ways.

No truer word Annie Madden (PhD) AO Most people think they don’t know anyone who uses drugs but probably do. People they know and trust. This X poster😉. It’s about brushing stereotypes aside, thinking about what a user is like, being inclusive. There are many tropes in drug use.

We gratefully acknowledge 3 great partners of people who use drugs. We join in thanking Alison Ritter for her fabulous work as the editor in chief position at International Journal of Drug Policy as the role passes to the equally worthy Jason Grebely and  Carla Treloar as co-chief editors - congrats.

Reframing the narrative ❤️

Sad to see Naomi Burke-Shyne leave Harm Reduction International but grateful for her very important contributions to #harmreduction and wish her the very best in her next chapter.

Dr. Russell Newcombe is survived by his wife Cheryl White, also a #harmreduction legend and pioneer. Please consider buying some of her beautiful, well-crafted jewellery.

Amongst his achievements, Russell wrote the first ever anglophone reference to harm reduction (in Druglink in 1987).

I hope he was proud to see that language finally included in a UN resolution last month

Here’s the fabulous Dr Annie Annie Madden (PhD) AO who is a force to be reckoned with when it comes to drug users rights. I’m in awe of her passion, commitment and resilience. Annie is such a beautiful person inside and out, always inspiring me #InternationalWomensDay #HepCULater

Devastated to hear of Dr Nuke ✴️ death. He was a huge support to us as an org & a giant in the field. In recent years he was a Release consultant providing pages of thorough notes on any questions we asked, trained the team & wrote for TalkingDrugs

RIP Russell 💔
