Today is International Sex Workers’ Day. ISWD is held to mark the 1975 occupation of Saint-Nizier Church by around 100 sex workers, protesting their criminalised & exploitative living conditions. Sex workers continue to mark the day by calling for fulfilment of their rights.

🌈 THANK YOU 🌈 #HarmReductionTwitterChat

A9: Our work wouldn’t be possible w/o our community–which has always been led & for people who use drugs, many of whom were/are BIPOC LGBTQIA2S+ folks who literally took the safety & well-being of those around them into their own hands through street work, advocacy, & radical ❤️.

We love all of our participants, volunteers, board members and coworkers who make Harm Reduction in NH possible!! #HarmReductionTwitterChat #NH #NewHampshire

A7. One big win was that @harmreductionNH launched the states very first Overdose Prevention Van and I was the one who designed the exterior 🥰🥰🥰 Not only are we reaching more ppl but I was able to help by using my artistic talents! #HarmReductionTwitterChat

@harmreductionNH A7: Despite legislative setbacks across the country, this yr we grew a lot bc of our Lighthouse Learning Series. 1200 registrations over 8 sessions! We’re currently embarking on a project w/ @transequity_ to create a Gender Affirming Care Toolkit for all 14 SSPs in NYC!

Q7. How has your Harm Reduction grown in the past year? What have been some of your hurdles and/or wins? #HarmReductionTwitterChat

@harmreductionNH A6: Harm Reduction has created the space that we have. Without it, LLC would cease to exist! It allows us and our members to have nuanced conversations with one another that accounts for our exp with drugs, with sex work, with our queer identities.

Q6. How has Harm Reduction changed your life or the lives of people in your community? #HarmReductionTwitterChat

A5B: We celebrate through joy & hope as resistance w/ our loved ones, families/chosen families, & colleagues. While we acknowledge this may not be a joyful time for all, we celebrate & uplift joy however it may look for you - celebration means something different to everyone.
