Cecilia presente! 🌹 Cecilia helped us create our gender-affirming harm reduction toolkit, and although she is not with us to celebrate, we dedicate it in her honor. January 31st will always be a special day ❤️

(1/4) The recent executive orders may try to erase the truth, but let’s be clear: gender is expansive, just as harm reduction is multifaceted.

Just as we had suspected and rallied against, Operation Restore Roosevelt has been a total failure. ❌ Read our latest op-ed in @citylimitsnews.bsky.social authored by Decrim NY member, Laura Torlaschi: citylimits.org/2025/01/24/o...

this is really not good. we don't need kloxxado. literally nobody asked for it. we definitely don't need the company producing narcan to also distribute kloxxado so they can ramp up their already aggressive lobbying.
