Thank you for setting the record straight. Consumption sites keep people alive and well, so there is hope for the future.
You can only die once, as my friend Jenn from @reclaimcollective.bsky.social said during #IOAD2025.
The last slide references something said during #IOAD2025 CBC interview. Asked what she thought about overdose numbers going down, Jenn from RECLAIM responded:
“You can’t die twice”
Capturing a sharp, painful truth many communities living through the unregulated drug crisis already understand.
As one big family driven by hope, Lace Boot Initiative for Women who Use Drugs (LaBWWUD) remains committed to overdose awareness.
Check out some photos from the International Drug Overdose Awareness Day that LaBWWUD organised in Zimbabwe.

✨ August may be behind us, but the fight isn’t.
International Overdose Awareness Day (Aug 31) is one day on the calendar. For many, the impact of overdose is felt every single day. Families, friends, and whole communities are grieving.

Today is International Overdose Awareness Day. Just your reminder that harm reduction saves lives. #IOAD2025 #harmreduction #nomoredrugwar
movement action plan schematic. see next post
you see the line for "public awareness"
awareness doesn't change anything. not on its own.
public awareness needs to become public support, public action for *specific* change.
and the clock is ticking

When someone survives an opioid overdose, it’s because someone else stepped up to help. When we see each other as friends to keep safe, we have the power to change what happens next. Overdose is preventable when we act together.
#OneWAfamily #IOAD2025 @doh.wa.gov @wa-health-care.bsky.social
Today we remember lives lost to overdose.
Every person mattered.
Overdose is a public health issue - deeply connected to housing, poverty & stigma.
We stand for harm reduction, housing, and compassion. 💜

Today is International Overdose Awareness Day.
Awareness days are strange. People who are all TOO aware try to reach those who likely think “that’s not for me”.
Before Mike died I had a vague awareness of IOAD, but I thought it wasn’t for me…

On International Overdose Awareness Day, we remember, we grieve, and we act. Ontario’s toxic drug crisis has death rates worse than the AIDS crisis. Harm reduction saves lives. Every overdose death is preventable.
