(1/2) TRANS DRUG USERS & S*X WORKERS WON’T BACK DOWN! While this administration is unrelenting in pushing anti-trans laws, criminalizing our survival & scapegoating us for their failures, we refuse to be silent. Trans PWUD & SWrs have always been here fighting, surviving & building community.

(1/14) Before there were clinics, there was community. Black trans people have always led harm reduction—DIY hormone access, syringe programs, sex worker organizing. And today, their work is still under attack. 📢 Fund, protect & uplift Black trans harm reduction.

The bold white title reads: "Before There Were Clinics, There Was Community: How Black Trans People Have Led Gender-Affirming Harm Reduction." The image includes a Black trans person holding a Black Trans Lives Matter sign, a vintage photo of a Marsha P. Johnson and Arlene Hoffman, a person speaking into a megaphone, medical syringes, and a vial of estradiol, symbolizing community-led hormone access.

We can’t arrest our way out of the overdose crisis. But Congress is trying with the HALT Fentanyl Act, which blocks health research & increases mandatory minimums for fentanyl-related substances.

Just as we had suspected and rallied against, Operation Restore Roosevelt has been a total failure. ❌ Read our latest op-ed in @citylimitsnews.bsky.social authored by Decrim NY member, Laura Torlaschi: citylimits.org/2025/01/24/o...

The image features a protest scene with individuals holding a sign that reads "STOP Operation Restore Roosevelt." The background is stylized with a gritty, high-contrast red and black filter, emphasizing urgency and dissent. A prominent thumbs-down icon reinforces disapproval of the operation. The text overlay includes a bold title: "Operation Restore Roosevelt Failed Queens," with a red "Opinion" label at the top.

(1/4) For many trans people, drug use isn't always to cope. It can be a way to connect and thrive. At Lighthouse Learning Collective, we work to understand the complexities and nuances of drugs and how they relate to TGNCNBI communities.
