Overdose Awareness Day in 2021

Today is National Overdose Awareness Day. This tweet is dedicated to @MattHaneySF, whose tenure as the supervisor of district 6 in San Francisco has resulted in a record number of overdoses for both 2020 and 2021. Also responsible @chesaboudin. Prosecute and jail drug dealers!

Solidarity with people who use drugs today, International Overdose Awareness Day (#IOAD2021). Every overdose death is a political failure. We need safe supply now, more than ever.

International Overdose Awareness Day. Can’t make it to #yqr today, but I’m thinking of those we’ve lost & those left to grieve & fight on. Let’s all work together to end stigma, treat people with kindness/compassion, & fight for proper policies that will save lives. #IOAD2021 https://t.co/SXaHIgj8Li

Today, on International Overdose Awareness Day, let's remember that stopping overdose isn't only about funding treatment. It means universal housing, education, health care, food, leisure time, communities of care, environmental justice. And NO police. #IOAD2021 #EndOverdose
