We have to really be patient with each other around this. It's the entire community around us that's been traumatized by this.
Imagine fighting to be heard in a room where your voice is often ignored. That's the reality for many drug users, and it's a struggle Michael Galipeau knows all too well. As the co-founder of the Rhode Island Users Union, Galipeau joins 'The Right Mind Media Podcast' to share his journey of advocating for the human rights of people who use drugs. He sheds light on the hurdles faced when trying to bring their voices into substance use policy discussions.
It's not just about policy; it's about validation, human rights, and breaking down stigma that divides communities. Galipeau also touches on some surprising allies in this fight, including public health perspectives and consumer input. If you're interested in understanding the complexities of advocacy and the importance of inclusive policy-making, this episode offers a compelling listen.
