Harm Reduction in the Heights

This last Tuesday, I worked for the first time at the Washington Heights Corner Project. A syringe exchange/harm reduction center much like St. Ann's, WHCP is small but is doing crucial work in my neck of the woods. I'll be working there two Tuesdays per month. The best part is that I can walk there. Take that, MTA!
The initial day there was slow, with only eight people total receiving NADA protocol. Still, the eight seemed to get benefit from it, and from slow starts come good finishes. Here's hoping I can continue to help save all sentient beings from suffering in the Heights.

  1. I hope the coming tsunami of budget cuts doesn't kill this program.
