🛑HB24-1028 died last night after hours of testimony from public health experts who were unanimous in their support for overdose prevention centers as a critical, evidence-based, life saving intervention. Thank you @KevinPriola and @RepEpps for championing this loving policy.

Colorado Drug Policy Coalition@ColoradoDPC

Dana Steiner of @freedomfundco says "we have only tried one approach to virtually any challenge we face as a community": law enforcement. "Our vision of a safe Colorado does not include ever-increasing numbers of prison beds."

Honored to testify alongside this phenomenal group of humans to advocate for fewer criminal legal penalties & more access to treatment and recovery ❤️

The House Judiciary Committee is now hearing HB24-1126, a bill to mandate forced treatment if the court finds substance use contributed to the underlying crime This extreme move will lead to jailing people solely for drug or alcohol use.

Imagine waking up every Monday to learn that 4 more people from your community - your neighborhood, your school district, your company - have died unnecessarily. People experiencing homelessness are living with constant grief and trauma.

This was dope. A humanizing perspective on people on Death Row. Loved the article and the commentary how their D&D characters offered insights into the people they could have become under more fortunate circumstance.
