Harm reduction workers on the frontlines of the OD crisis have gone more than six months without a statewide training program that’s been essential for a workforce already in the federal government’s crosshairs.

Despite an increased sense of urgency among harm reductionists in the aftermath of three mass overdose events last year, the city's failure to pursue city-sanctioned overdose prevention centers is nothing new.

In the absence of statewide push for OPCs, Mayor Scott once again balks at city-sanctioned facilities
Mayor Brandon Scott has omitted overdose prevention centers from his list of legislative priorities for 2026. Paired with remarks from the city's top health officials, OPCs may be dead in the water.

Unhoused Baltimoreans are facing a lack of shelter beds and freezing temperatures, a potentially lethal combination for a vulnerable population that often opts for the streets because of safety concerns at the facilities.

🧵We are heartbroken over the devastating loss of so many community members who died or were killed while experiencing #Homelessness. Each of the people we've lost deserved safety, health care, a safe place to retreat to & lay their head at night, & their humanity to be honored.

Tonight, unhoused individuals who have died in Baltimore will be honored, and that will occur as the city all but ensures that more will. This problem is not just about housing — it's about human rights. And as far as I can tell, those are violated every fucking day. (6/6)
December 18, 2025 at 3:23 PM
City officials say they only sweep encampments when shelter beds are available, but activists and unhoused individuals have argued that isn't true. And they've added that many people believe that the streets are still safer than shelters. (5/6)
December 18, 2025 at 3:23 PM
The city, she said, promised to connect them to services. But they never did so, leaving them without help or the one place they could call “home” as winter comes. Her story is just one of many I've heard about the population essentially being abandoned. (4/6)
December 18, 2025 at 3:23 PM
Despite this, she found community and some solitude in the fact that she was still part of a community — it provided some semblance of normalcy. And then that community was destroyed in the blink of an eye. Now, she was left with clothes on her back and $7. (3/6)
December 18, 2025 at 3:23 PM
She was pleading for help, and as I reached for my wallet, I knew the $7 I had to spare probably wouldn't solve her problems. Homelessness, especially when factoring in freezing temperatures, is traumatic and potentially lethal. (2/6)
December 18, 2025 at 3:23 PM
I haven't been able to stop thinking about the unhoused woman I met on Tuesday. She approached me, tears in her eyes, and told me that the City of Baltimore destroyed the encampment in which she and others resided. (1/6)

ICYMI: Local outlets such as The Baltimore Sun seem to revel in depicting drug users as subhuman beings, all slaves to the poisonous substances they ingest. It's all part of a decades-long, racist fearmongering campaign.

Under its new ownership, The Sun's portrayal of Black youth as exuberant criminals and older Black men as lackadaisical drug addicts who threaten the white, working-class values of a once-great city has proliferated.

A case study on Baltimore media's racist portrayal of drug users
The Baltimore Sun has published a series of articles about the city's overdose crisis. Yet a racist narrative is woven into the pieces, continuing a decades-long trend of racist media coverage.

Every night, I've been telling myself the following: "This is the last time, I swear. I need to stop."

But it's no longer about sniffing dope or drinking whiskey — it's about eating so much Ben & Jerry's that I feel sick. This madness must end.
