Today is International Overdose Awareness Day #IOAD2024. Every year, more than 100,000 people in the U.S. die from a preventable overdose death. We invite you to explore the memories of those we’ve lost to overdose through our #SupportHarmReduction campaign website. You can also share an image and story of a loved one lost to overdose. Inspired by the AIDS quilt, we’re turning grief and anger into action, by mobilizing communities to build support for harm reduction to save lives.

International Overdose Awareness Day on Aug. 31 is both a time to honor loved ones who have been lost to a drug overdose and a time to draw attention to the crisis, which still claims more than 100,000 lives each year in the United States. For the second year, we’re mailing out more than 200 DIY campaign boxes to groups across 10 states, so they can build local awareness about harm reduction support services.

Temos orgulho em compartilhar a assinatura do Acordo de Cooperação Técnica (ACT) entre a Vital Strategies Brasil e o Ministério da Igualdade Racial. Esta parceria tem como foco a população negra, com o objetivo de avançar em políticas públicas voltadas para o combate ao racismo dentro do sistema de saúde pública. Reconhecer a dimensão racial na produção de dados de saúde é crucial para definir prioridades e investir em políticas eficazes, baseadas em evidências. -- We are proud to share the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding between Vital Strategies Brazil and the Ministry of Racial Equity. This partnership focuses on addressing the needs of the Black population, with the goal of advancing public policies aimed at combating racism within the public health system. Recognizing the racial dimension in health data production is crucial for setting priorities and investing in effective, evidence-based policies.
Na quinta-feira (22/08/2024), tive o prazer de representar a Vital Strategies, organização global de saúde, na cerimônia de assinatura do Acordo de Cooperação Técnica (ACT) com o Ministério da Igualdade Racial. Esse ACT tem como foco a população negra, com a premissa de promover políticas públicas voltadas para o combate ao racismo no sistema público de saúde. Abordar a dimensão racial na produção de informação em saúde é fundamental para se definir prioridades e investir em políticas efetivas e baseadas em evidências. Incorporar o racismo enquanto marcador social da diferença nos processos de vida da população negra é uma luta dos movimentos sociais, sendo esse o único caminho possível para implementar políticas públicas equânimes, que são pautadas na justiça e na reparação social. https://lnkd.in/d74nSAkh
