Texas Harm Reduction Alliance

At THRA, we are working to support our unhoused friends who have been losing their personal belongings. If you're spring cleaning or organizing a community drive, we would love your help in replacing these essential items for our friends who are seeking services. link in bio

Harm reduction is facing political and financial challenges, despite a 22% drop in opioid deaths and a 36% decrease in fentanyl deaths, crucial funds are being cut. Overdoses remain Austin's leading accidental death cause. Donate for services in 2026, link in bio. #HarmReduction
