Last week, our ED Anton Basenko spoke at the HRI webinar about keeping #HarmReduction alive in the face of a global funding collapse.

His message was clear: funding cuts cost lives, and where harm reduction survives, it survives because #communities hold the line.

Happy International Drug Users Day! ❤️

A day to celebrate our communities, our resilience and the fight that never stops.

We’ve faced stigma, criminalisation and hate — but we’re still here, stronger than ever.

We are proud. We are loud. We are not going anywhere.
