DRUG USERS INTERNATIONAL
SPOTLIGHT CONTINUED
Advocacy in a Red State Robert Suarez, Harm Reduction Consultant
There was a call. A call from Louise to help her with Death By Distribution Laws getting passed in NC. A call for support in North Carolina. A call to have governor Cooper, veto H474 Death By Distribution. Being from NY I thought that this might be something that just North Carolina needs to deal with, but as I thought about it a little more it didn't take long to realize that a bill like this in North Carolina is only the beginning. We need to be there for one another. What happens in one part of the country will affect drug users everywhere! It had been a long time since I'd traveled out of state for advocacy, but this has the potential of becoming a perfect storm. I, along with others, need to understand how things in one place affect things in another.
