Talking Drugs recaps the HIT Hot Topics Conference, held in Liverpool earlier this year, which brings together top international leaders in the harm reduction movement – including OnPoint NYC’s Executive Director, Sam Rivera:
““I’m you, I just got here first,” Sam Rivera said, his presence invigorating the room with his earrings of naloxone bottles swinging with his words. Aware of the need for safe consumption sites in the UK, Rivera, the Executive Director of OnPoint in New York, shared his experiences of creating the first safe consumption site in New York, which has now operated for three years without any interruptions from the police or the state.”
