Harm Reduction and the State of Black Women's Lives
This virtual gathering was hosted by the No Health = No Justice campaign and took place October 22-24.
The gathering addressed the COVID-19 pandemic and how it has illuminated the fact that the need to reduce harms to Black communities is much more than drug policy reform.
It necessitates a movement that includes faith and community leaders and directly-impacted people who work at the intersections of health care, mass incarceration, child welfare, and environmental injustice to analyze and determine how to mitigate the hurt, harm, oppression, and trauma that continues to be imposed on Black women and girls in the United States.
In bringing together members of these different groups, the virtual gathering created a place for participants to share knowledge, build partnerships, establish principles of understanding, and create organizing and policy strategies to improve harmful policies and practices that often impact Black women.
