During last weekend’s life-threatening freeze, city leaders asked OnPoint’s overdose prevention center (OPC) to stay open 24/7 to keep people indoors, warm, and alive. They did. That’s what OPCs are: community safety infrastructure that saves lives, cuts 911 calls, and connects people to care.

Our thoughts today January 3, 2026. The #warondrugs is a pretext for the violation of sovereignty. It is global violence. The harm reduction movement must tie our liberation to the struggle against imperialism and colonialism. #drugsky #harmreduction #publichealth
