SB881 Defeated!
THANK YOU to everyone who helped advocate so quickly for this defeat of another attempt at a harmful drug induced homicide law that would have further criminalized addiction and deterred people from calling for help in an overdose!
We support a variety of local, state, and federal advocacy objectives that increase access to services, support, and rights of people in recovery and people who use drugs.
​
Among other successes, our work has resulted in 6 Virginia laws that increase access to naloxone, strengthen protections for people calling for help during an overdose, expand access to comprehensive harm reduction programs, and created a naloxone access pilot project at Carillion hospital.
