“We don’t expect anything. We don’t come with judgment. We see people as humans and see them for who they are.”

“I don’t advocate drug use. No matter what side of the thing it’s on. My thing is how can we reduce harm, how can I educate you, and, where do we go from here? That’s where we’re at. And how can I be a support to you? Everything else you have been told is just completely not real. People are people and have the right to live.”

— Deborah Marie, Iowa Harm Reduction Coalition

I love the website and love what these people are about. Send them a donation or drop them a line if you appreciate their work on behalf of others. I think I’m going to invite them on our new podcast here in Ames and see if they accept.
