Support BIPOC Harm Reduction Programs Today
This Giving Tuesday, National Harm Reduction Coalition is honored to support and uplift four incredible harm reduction organizations led by people of color. In the spirit of community, we encourage you to join us in ensuring that these four organizations receive the funding they need to continue providing life saving services to our folks in the movement. All donations raised on this page from now through December 1, 2020 will be evenly split and distributed to the following organizations:
The Black Sex Worker Collective
The Black Sex Worker Collective’s (BSWC) mission is to offer support to current and former sex workers and to change the way our society views and understands sex and work and the people who engage in this labor. BSWC does this work because it is important to them that sex as labor is recognized as a reasonable source of work in order to protect those that engage in it from systematic harm, bias, and discrimination.
Established in 2017, WeCare TN serves trans women and gender noncomforming folks of color. The team works to specifically target folks that formerly or currently do sex work. WeCare TN supports trans women of color through education, and empowerment, with the goal to ensure that transwomen of color have the same equity and quality of life as envisioned.
Nuestra meta es trabajar para mitigar el impacto ambiental que genera el consumo de drogas en los espacios en las comunidades recogiendo el material biomédico de las calles o espacios comunes y la educación en reducción de daños a la comunidad, participantes como la comunidad no consumidora de sustancias para deconstruir mitos y prejuicios hacia la población usuaria de sustancias.
English Translation: Our goal to collaborate with our community to mitigate the environmental impact that substance use can generate by pickling up and recycling any biomedical material on the streets or common community spaces as well as to carry out community harm reduction education as well as awareness raising to fight back against the stigma our community members that use drugs may experience.
Gwayakobimaadiziwin Bad River Needle Exchange
Gwayakobimaadiziwin Bad River Needle Exchange serves people who inject drugs on the Bad River reservation and surrounding communities with access to safe materials for injecting and smoking drugs, overdose prevention education, and resources and provide an opportunity to safely dispose of used materials without fear of legal repercussions. They provide all services in a culturally responsive manner, offering social and emotional support, supplementary nutrition, and referrals to other services when requested. Finally, they educate the greater community on harm reduction principles, overdose awareness, and HIV/Hepatitis prevention to transform public perceptions and save lives.
National Harm Reduction Coalition’s goal is to raise awareness and crucial funding for these programs, while practicing what collective liberation looks like. We invite our partners and other organizations to imagine a world where, when we work together to save ourselves, we create a life of communal abundance and no longer operate from a place of scarcity.
