The Public Defender Association, along with a number of co-sponsors (including Real Change, Capitol Hill Community Council, People’s Harm Reduction Alliance, ACLU-WA, Hep C Education Project, and SKCCH) have organized a Town Hall event on drug user health, harm reduction, and safe injection facilities for November 13 at 7:00 pm in Town Hall – 1119 8th Ave. Seattle, WA 98101
The Town Hall event will include a screening of the film “Everywhere But Safe: Public Injecting in New York“, followed by a panel discussion with the film makers and local experts. We are very excited for the panel, which will include Chloe Gale (REACH/ETS), as well as Caleb Banta-Green (ADAI), Eric Seitz (public health nurse, former IV drug user), Shiloh Murphy (People’s Harm Reduction Alliance), Matt Curtis (VOCAL-NY), and Vivek Chaudhary (Urban Survivors Union). It will be a great opportunity to not only learn more about the campaign for safe injection spaces in New York, but also to discuss the current landscape in Seattle and how we might move forward in addressing the public health needs of injection drug users using innovative harm reduction approaches.
Hope you all can make it! And please don’t hesitate to let me know if you have any questions!
