Haven't been posting much but I really want to share this here
DULF was a grassroots organization that was trying to tackle the drug crisis in Vancouver, Canada particularly the downtown east side which is especially bad for overdose and unsafe drug practices (and the government just lets people die smile). DULF did this by sourcing pure drugs and partnering with University of British Columbia to ensure they were 100% clean, then sold them at an below market value at a safe injection site. There are multiple papers out of UBC outlining the positive effects of their actions. They operated like this for years and the BC government knew of their existence for many of those years... Until right wing reactionaries caught wind of it and lost their minds and the BC gov back pedalled to save face. The person I know directly (a trans woman) and their friend who started it with her was arrested for literally saving people's lives and now faces a lengthy jail sentence as a result and is fund raising for her legal fees.
If you support safe supply and actual actions to save people's lives and you can afford to help, they are in desperate need of legal funds and they have until tomorrow at midnight (Sunday 11:59:59) to scrape together as much as they can. I haven't been keeping up with it recently because I deleted Instagram but the DULF Instagram account got banned so their fundraising efforts have been stunted.
If you can and want to help I've linked an instagram post with the paypal info and other details. Truly anything helps at this point.
