Last week, our ED Anton Basenko spoke at the HRI webinar about keeping #HarmReduction alive in the face of a global funding collapse. His message was clear: funding cuts cost lives, and where harm reduction survives, it survives because #communities hold the line.

Our #StrategicPlan 2025–2029 is out. Clear direction, strong priorities and a focus on building power for our community. People who use drugs deserve rights and real influence — and this plan backs that. Take a look at our Strategic Plan: inpud.net/inpud-strate... #INPUD
