____________________________

LGBTQ+ communities are disproportionately impacted by the overdose crisis due to a combination of stigma, discrimination, and barriers to healthcare. Pride is not just a celebration - it’s a powerful space of visibility, resistance, and care.

We know that harm reduction saves lives. By showing up with free Narcan, compassionate education, and a stigma-free presence, we’re saying: our community’s health and safety matters. Everyone deserves access to life-saving tools.
