What keeps me hopeful is that you know my shoulders are still strong on view and the things that you do you may not even be alive to see the benefit of, but it's still worth doing, still worth doing, because you need the shoulders are standing on so they can continue to move the work forward.
What does it take to push for change in harm reduction policies? In this episode of 'This is What Recovery Looks Like', Phil Rutherford sits down with Tracie Gardner, Senior Vice President of Policy Advocacy at the Legal Action Center. Tracie shares her journey into harm reduction work and provides a deep dive into the federal policies and advocacy efforts that are shaping the future of harm reduction.
She highlights the significant challenges faced by the Black community during the War on Drugs and offers practical advice for those looking to get involved in advocacy. Tracie's insights are both eye-opening and inspiring, shedding light on the importance of evidence-based practices and a 'no wrong door' approach to treatment. Despite the slow pace of policy change, her optimism and dedication to the cause are truly motivating.
If you're interested in understanding the complexities of harm reduction advocacy and how you can contribute, this episode is a must-listen.
