This is one of 20 slides I created for a presentation I am giving at Pecha Kucha Pittsburgh 8 called "The War on Sugar." In this presentation, I will tell the story of an alternate universe where, instead of banning certain recreational drugs, we ban sugar. What would happen in such a scenario?
Two friends receive information, advice and materials, including clean syringes, through a street outreach programme in Cherkassy, Ukraine.

CLOSE THE CAMPS - Day 18 - Public Health & Harm Reduction
August 18, 2019 - Day 18 of a Month of Actions at ICE in San Francisco to CLOSE THE CAMPS.
From the organizers of the Day 18 rally:
"WE unite together as doctors, nurses, public health workers/researchers and advocates and as harm reductionists to confront the lethal obscenity of Trump’s concentration camps and policies of medical neglect and abuse toward those seeking refuge in our country.
It is imperative for health care providers to take an official and public stand against the inhuman treatment (in some cases, overseen by licensed medical professionals) at these ever-expanding detention facilities, at the conscious policy of neglect that is tantamount to torture and that has resulted in the wholly-avoidable deaths of at least 7 asylum-seeking children in the last few months. This needs to be called out and delegitimized, much as when professional psychiatrists/psychologists enabled and legitimized the brutal torture techniques at Guantanamo and CIA secret rendition-sites and were eventually confronted. That time is now.
PLEASE unite with us, concerned healthcare providers and public health workers from the UCSF, DPH and harm-reduction services communities in witness and opposition."
Members of P.A.I.N. (Prescription Addiction Intervention Now), Truth Pharm, and a coalition of survivor sand advocacy groups working in response to the overdose crisis held a demonstration on August 9, 2021 outside of The United States Bankruptcy Court in White Plains to call out the United States justice system for allowing the billionaire Sackler Family to walk away unscathed after igniting the worst public health crisis in the history of this nation.

I like to sketch out watercolors during when attending conferences or workshops...this one was done during a harm reduction workshop. The whole world is addicted; why do we punish people who have certain addictions that we have decided to stigmatize? Look at the sky, the earth, the water rising...We are are addicted to garbage, fossil fuels, melting the icecaps, war, television, etc....while I don't advise addiction to drugs, is it any worse than the stuff the human race is "smoking"? Harm reduction is the human approach to helping our brothers and sisters with addictions.
