September is National Recovery Month and harm reduction is one of many paths to recovery. 💜

Recovery can look different for everyone, and no one has to navigate it alone.

For some people, recovery means abstinence. For others, harm reduction may be part of their journey. Harm reduction supports safer choices and helps reduce the risks associated with substance use.

At Amida Care, we believe in meeting people where they are, without judgment, and supporting their health and well-being.

“Unámonos, mantengamos un frente fuerte… No podemos darnos el lujo de dejarlo ir, porque en el momento en que lo soltemos, nos va a cubrir, así que debemos seguir adelante. Yo no luché hace tantos años en Stonewall para darme la vuelta y dejarlo ir ahora. Eso fue hace 50 años. Así que tenemos que seguir luchando pase lo que pase.” —Miss Major Griffin-Gracy (ella/cualquiera), Activista Revolucionaria Negra Trans, Madre, Veterana de Stonewall y Fundadora de House of gg.

Durante más de cinco décadas, Miss Major moldeó generaciones de liderazgo trans a través de su firme compromiso con los derechos trans, lo que incluyó elevar las voces de mujeres trans negras y de personas trans encarceladas y anteriormente encarceladas. Su trabajo en Stonewall, en las calles y dentro de las prisiones, así como su creación de espacios de sanación como la House of gg, transformará para siempre los movimientos por los derechos trans. Su impacto vive en cada acto de resistencia trans, en cada momento de cuidado colectivo y en cada líder a quien ayudó a formar. Sentimos su ausencia cada día y llevamos adelante su sabiduría y su amor.

Junto con nuestras organizaciones asociadas Community Healthcare Network, Colectivo Intercultural TRANSgrediendo, New York Transgender Advocacy Group, Destination Tomorrow, y The NEW Pride Agenda, seguimos celebrando a líderes TGNCNB como parte de .

“Band together, keep a strong front...We can’t afford to let it go because the moment we let it go, it’s going to cover us up, so we must keep going. I didn’t fight all those years ago in Stonewall just to turn around and let it go now. That was 50 years ago. So, we’ve got to keep fighting no matter what.”—Miss Major Griffin-Gracy (she/any), Revolutionary Black Trans Activist, Mother, Stonewall Veteran, and Founder of the House of gg.

For more than five decades, Miss Major shaped generations of trans leadership through her fierce commitment to trans rights, which included uplifting the voices of Black trans women and incarcerated or formerly incarcerated trans people. Her work at Stonewall, in the streets, and inside prisons, as well as her creation of healing spaces like the House of gg, will forever transform trans rights movements. Her impact lives in every act of trans resistance, every moment of collective care, and every leader she helped raise. We feel her absence every day, and we carry her wisdom and love forward.

Along with our partners Destination Tomorrow, New York Transgender Advocacy Group, Colectivo Intercultural TRANSgrediendo, The NEW Pride Agenda, and Community Healthcare Network we celebrate trans visibility year-round. .
