Free the Methadone
Methadone is a vital, lifesaving tool for people with opiate dependency. It has been established to reduce dependency on heroin and fentanyl and has been linked to improved quality of life among patients. It is the gold-standard treatment for opiate dependency, yet inaccessible to so many. During COVID-19, we demanded safe access to this lifesaving treatment. Now, as restrictions on shelter-in-place are opening up, we are fighting to keep crucial changes to methadone policy and to research the effects that take-home doses have had on the lives of drug users.

#BiggLoveWV
As a national harm reduction user union, we strive to support drug users on a local and national level. When individuals and agencies in West Virginia were in dire need, we were honored to lend a hand. We delivered injection kit supplies, lifesaving equipment which promote public health and safe injection practices.

We host several national calls and online meetings to organize and support sex workers and people who use drugs such as our Advocacy Academy, Harm Reduction training, and collective grant writing sessions. All are welcome! Please click the link below to see the schedule of calls.
