2. educating, mobilizing and advocating for policies and programs grounded in harm reduction , healing, and disability justice. 

3. providing direct services in areas where high-risk communities are denied even the most basic services.

​

Our programmatic activities include running a user-led syringe service program (SSP) and community space in Greensboro, NC, community organizing, harm reduction -based education and leadership development, civic engagement, and harm reduction mutual support groups.
