The war on drugs is built on a foundation of lies, it is racist and it has been used to disrupt the communities that our White American system has decided is undesirable.
What happens when two passionate advocates take on the challenges of harm reduction and the War on Drugs? In this episode of 'Choose Your Struggle', host Jay Shifman sits down with Jamie Favaro, founder of Next Harm Reduction, and Emily Dotter, a staunch naloxone advocate. Jamie opens up about her mission to provide online syringe access for those who can't reach in-person services, tackling the hurdles of making harm reduction more inclusive.
Emily shares her journey in pushing for wider naloxone availability and the uphill battles non-profits face in this arena. Both guests shed light on the racism entrenched in drug policies and discuss the critical role of self-care in their advocacy work. They also explore how technology can bridge gaps in support and resources. Tune in for a raw, eye-opening conversation that underscores the power of perseverance and innovation in harm reduction.
