Our goal is to have 1000 SUFS Teach Ins across the US, by 9/30.

We know, it's a big goal.
If you've received tax dollars for your science, you have a responsibility to inform *your* community what is at stake: public health, the economy, innovation, and America's global leadership.

How can people advocate to #freemethadone? I support legalization but in the mean time can I do anything to get people access to Methadone? I’m just a heart- broken citizen wondering why it’s so hard for people to get an FDA medication. @drugpolicy.org @aclu.org

Washington Post: 1 in 5 people in Gaza are starving amidst the aid blockade that Israel imposed more than two months ago. If this continues, the entire population could be starving by September.
Imagine if 1 in every 5 people you knew, where you lived, were starving.

Mike Johnson: "Medicaid is intended, remember, as a safety net for young pregnant mothers and the elderly and disabled and vulnerable populations, not for young able-bodied men without dependents. Those are the kinds of people we're taking off the program."

There are no words. These are preventable deaths and have been for decades. They know. They think you don’t. Tell everyone that will listen. People have to care before politicians. Share Congress’ number when people are ready to start help saving lives. 202-224-3121.
The media & the right made SF a proving ground for harm reduction - which was never even implemented at scale - and claimed rising ODs (from the emergence of fentanyl) meant harm reduction “didn’t work.”
Since cutting harm reduction, deaths are up 50%. Cause harm reduction works & policing doesn’t.

Fentanyl deaths are up by 50 percent in San Francisco after Mayor Lurie replaced harm reduction programs with police and prisons. It's almost like you put lives in danger when you treat a public health problem like it's a crime

The Trump admin is fast-tracking a uranium mine in Utah by slashing the permitting process to 14 days, bypassing environmental review and cutting the public out entirely. Projects like this are supposed to go through NEPA, the law that requires environmental impact assessments and public comment.
