From @PoliceForReform on #SCS: This is the perfect time to abandon our old ways of shaming and punishing people who use drugs and instead build public health systems based on evidence-based best practices." coloradosun.com/2021/03/13/dru…

Today, we sent a letter to @MayorJenny, @SeattleHSD, & @KCPubHealth to ensure that SCS dollars are spent in good alignment with community advocacy and legislative intent via @SeattleCouncil. Our message is clear – SCS dollars are for SCS, full stop. documentcloud.adobe.com/link/track?uri…

“My expectation and my hope is that we move forward progressively here in Seattle with funding that’s been made available by Seattle City Council,” Rawlins (with @YesToSCS) said. seattletimes.com/seattle-news/h…

Re. @SafehousePhilly court ruling: Primary point in this ruling points to violation of federal law. We've progressed beyond federal policies for drug policy changes such as marijuana legalization. So, SCS is not a legal question but a political question. It's time for action now.

As to the front-runner, Rawlins also wagers a guess: “I do think it will be Seattle. Mayor Durkan calls herself the innovative mayor and Seattle’s vocal about being the innovative city. It’s like — alright, let’s be innovative, let’s do it.” whowhatwhy.org/2020/12/10/sea…

The proof continues in research - a report documents that co-location of SCS will provide cost savings, reduce overdose deaths, and increase individual health outcomes. Seattle can be a national leader in making this research a local reality. d279m997dpfwgl.cloudfront.net/wp/2020/11/ICE…

Majority of @SeattleCouncil continues to push our advocacy and we appreciate bold leadership from @Lisa_Herbold this budget cycle to move funds towards SCS implementation. This action aims for Seattle to be a national leader in drug policy. seattle.legistar.com/View.ashx?M=F&…

Shout out to the legislative support of @Lisa_Herbold for ensuring the #SCS $$$ remain reserved for safer consumption through yesterday's budget action. @SeattleCouncil continues to be a leader in supporting evidence-based solutions for individual and community health & safety.

Reported by @KCPubHealth: fentanyl overdose rates are double from this time last year. #Safeconsumption is a necessary tool for evidence and reality-based intervention into the #overdose crisis. View below for immediate steps for local service providers.
