HRX HISTORY

In 2022, a group community leaders, activists and folks who used drugs in the Capital Region vowed "NOT ONE MORE." Fueled by our love and compassion for people who use drugs and the memory of all those we lost to the overdose epidemic, we formed a grassroots alliance of harm reductionist ready to provide live-saving support, education and public health tools. Everyday we build capacity and cultivate leadership among people who use drugs because we know folks who are directly affected by the War on Drugs must be at the center our of advocacy efforts.
