CALL TO ACTION! California legislators will soon be doing the final vote on a budget proposal that would fund a paid staff position in all authorized syringe access programs!
We need your help pushing it through, please call the Senators and Assemblymember’s on the Budget Conference Committee:
- Assemblymember Phil Ting (SF) (415) 557-2312 - Senator Richard Roth (Riverside) (951) 680-6750 - Senator Nancy Skinner (Alameda) (510) 286-1333 - Senator Holly Mitchell (LA) (213) 745-6656
Here’s a sample of what you could say:
“Hi, my name is ______ and I live/work in _____. I’m calling to ask ___[name of legislator]___ to support the budget request led by Harm Reduction Coalition and Drug Policy Alliance to fund Harm Reduction Care Navigators.
This is important because syringe service programs are on the front lines providing care to people who need it most and many of these programs have little money or are all volunteer. These funds would make it possible to help connect people to treatment and reduce overdose deaths in California. Please support this budget request!”
