Such a hateful policy: “President Donald Trump’s new executive order … called ‘Ending Crime and Disorder on America’s Streets,’ attempts to defund ‘housing first’ and ‘harm reduction’ approaches to homelessness. Both strategies have played heavily in Mayor Mike Johnston’s housing efforts in Denver, and many researchers say they are backed by evidence.”

This week at the encampment, we distributed a hot meal prepared by a comrade from @baystate_johnbrown and @thenetwork_ne, 180 pounds of ice, 20 cases of water, snacks, and safer drug use supplies as part of our harm reduction efforts. On our mobile distro, we also distributed dozens of sandwiches, seven cases of water, cold juice, toiletries, socks, snacks, and safer drug use supplies throughout Downtown Crossing, Boston Common, Back Bay, and South Station. For volunteers at both distros, we held drop-in seminars on harm reduction principles and practices.

We’ve also been doing lots of tabling lately, handing out information on Warm Up Boston and our material aid programs. Thank you again to everyone who has invited us to table this summer, and to everyone who has stopped by our table!

We are always excited to welcome new comrades. Send us a DM or email ([email protected]) if you are interested!

Asked how #Sweden is on the brink of achieving #smokefree status, @weimers tells @CPouchers:

"Sweden has a range of smoke-free alternatives. We have #vaping, we have #snus, we have #nicotine pouches. People are given a freedom of choice."
