In honor of my 40th Birthday, I invite you to donate to The Everywhere Project.

The Everywhere Project is a local nonprofit that is committed to expanding access to harm reduction resources and education. This includes building trust with the community through the distribution of food, clothing, and other essential items --- providing overdose reversal training and safer use supplies such as Narcan, fentanyl testing strips, and safer use kits --- and educating people on the principles of harm reduction. They also advocate to End the War on Drugs and actively work to reduce stigma against people who use drugs in our community.

I grew up in the era of "Just Say No" and the zero tolerance policy in schools. I have used drugs, know people who have used drugs, know people in recovery, and like far too many of us - have lost people I care about to drug use. As a public health professional, I believe that to move forward we need to reduce stigma around substance use and to provide compassion, care, and dignity to people who use drugs. I am so honored to know the folks at The Everywhere Project and proud to support their mission.

The only way I could picture starting my next decade is by bringing awareness to this organization and asking for donations to reach a goal of $400 in honor of my 40th birthday. Help me reach my goal, and in turn, support an organization that is making a big difference. No amount is too small.

If you're unable to donate, please consider signing up to volunteer at one of their weekly outreach sites.

Thank you for your donations, dear friends.

Sending love,

Becca
