🚨There is an escalating HIV outbreak among PWUD in #BosPoli #MApoli 🚨
@MassDPH & @HealthyBoston MUST respond to this crisis NOW:
•Release timely HIV testing, incident HIV case data & a clinical advisory
•Frequent & accessible HIV testing
•Expanded SSP
•Broad access to PReP

“The bottom line is that overdose prevention sites — which exist in more than 100 cities around the world — offer compassion for fellow human beings. Our job as a city is to support efforts to alleviate suffering & to save lives.”

A brief, perfect response to the @BostonGlobe article this week about MA creating new SPOT-like over-sedation monitoring rooms written by my friend, dedicated #SCS / #SIF organizer & fellow co-founder of @SIFMA_NOW - @ParakoiJim.

Thank you ALL!
The March on the Mile was amazing thanks to everyone who showed up. All of your support was empowering for our union members who made this happen.
But we still need to end #OperationCleanSweep & support each other.
Here are some takeaways & ways to take action:
As the world observes International Overdose Awareness Day, we are joining with our fellow members of @StopOpioidOD to recommit ourselves to advocating for policy solutions that address America’s deadly opioid overdose epidemic: ow.ly/ovSD50vwAB7 #EndOverdose
There's an amazing group of folks on this proposed #SXSW panel about reducing overdose deaths, including @DanCiccarone @haffajee_r @DrSarahWakeman - please join us in voting below to make it happen!

Kudos to the @BostonGlobe Editorial Board for highlighting an important fact: we need safe-injection sites in Massachusetts to save more lives and help people get the care and treatment they desperately need. #mapoli

❤ these from @StreetHealthOPS
Junkie is a slur
Crackhead is a slur
These words are rooted in classism, racism & ableism.
They are used to dehumanize & harm people who use drugs & people living in poverty.
It's time to #TakeAStand & #EndTheStigma against people who use drugs.
Thanks @felicejfreyer for sharing your thoughts! Some highlights below from her piece on lessons learned from covering the opioid crisis in MA as a journalist (1/5)
I’m heartened by the compassion and resolve of caregivers, and the courage and resilience of those struggling with addiction. bostonglobe.com/metro/2019/0… via @BostonGlobe

Using accurate language to describe substance use disorders can reshape perceptions, a necessary step toward reducing the mortality of the current #opioidcrisis. More from @MBotticelliBMC in #HealthCity: bit.ly/2WxeJI0 #SUD #stigma
Great news! Through a collaboration between @MassDPH, SCA, and MA medical schools, students graduating from MA med schools will be eligible for buprenorphine waivers with no additional training.
A special shout out to @SivaSSundaram for his work on this!
