Red Project is a comprehensive harm reduction agency incorporating a syringe access program. The program operates on the premise that providing personal substance use equipment is a fundamental human right and promoter of public health. The supply of these tools to communities results in vast reductions in the spread of HIV, Hepatitis C, blood-borne infections, and physical injuries associated with substance use.
The Red Project provides syringes and miscellaneous supplies at no cost via an anonymous and judgment-free exchange. The program operates out of several locations, including a Mobile Health Unit.
Red Project also offers Hepatitis C and HIV testing and support, overdose education and naloxone distribution, and sexual health products!
Finally, OTC naloxone!
Grateful to all the harm reduction advocates who continued to champion this
Next step: Make sure it is accessible to those who need it most at low/no cost for true naloxone liberation https://twitter.com/Filtermag_org/status/1641058872667283456
BREAKING: The FDA has approved the first naloxone product available without a prescription. While this removes the final regulatory barrier to naloxone access, it does not on its own lower the cost.

Calling xylazine “naloxone resistant” is a bit silly, considering that it’s not an opioid and therefore not meant for it. Xylazine is almost exclusively found WITH opioids, and so if someone isn’t adequately breathing, should still be given naloxone along w other supportive care
