Who We Are
This zine was developed by a group of frontline harm reduction workers, researchers, and volunteers working in Canada and the United States.
Our vision is to create a space where harm reductionists across the globe can share their specialized knowledge, stories, experiences, resources, and expertise. Policy, procedure, and research language does not generally capture all voices, and we know that harm reduction expertise has historically been passed on through storytelling, relationships, and lived experience.
We aim to make harm reduction work more sustainable by sharing resources and stories more widely, and by uplifting and centering voices that have been silenced, exploited, and rendered invisible. By making information easily accessible, we are working towards a more just and caring world, where communities are united in mutual care and understanding.
Through this zine we hope to connect harm reduction workers focused on subversive knowledge-sharing, resisting oppression within the war on drugs, and distributing power and dignity more fairly amongst our communities.

Submissions
We are always accepting potential submissions for forthcoming issues. If you have a story, advice, expertise, tips, lifehacks, reflections you have to share about your experiences responding to/preventing overdose, we want to hear from you.
Email us a couple sentences telling us what you're thinking, and we'll pay you to develop your piece for print.
If you're not sure what to write about, keep in mind that this zine is largely for you—your stories, in your words. It's a place to share your experiences in harm reduction work of all kinds: the good and the bad, the healing and the unjust.
We will print your stories in your own words with minimal editing (unless you want more!). The only limitation we will place on your piece is that we will not print attacks upon physical appearance, race, gender, abilities, religion, or sexual orientation. Otherwise, it's all you!
