At this virtual formation building event, you will have an opportunity to meet and learn more about the providers leading these advocacy efforts and how their programming is vital to the health, safety, and wellness of our community. We will provide direction on different ways to engage with City of Phoenix leaders, as well as provide guidance as how to make the most of your engagement, as well as sample comments you can follow when composing your own. Everyone who wants to join in this important advocacy is welcome to come learn and join in the formation of wider advocacy efforts.

Last night Phoenix spoke at a Planned Parenthood fundraiser, stating “It’s been a good month for healthcare in Arizona.” She said this while simultaneously voting with 6 other members of the city council to STRIP AWAY necessary & life-saving medical care for unhoused individuals in Phoenix.
Please check out the additional slides created by our friends at to find out how you can make your voice heard on this matter.
Everyone deserves medical treatment. Everyone deserves harm reduction. Everyone deserves to breathe.

If you ever see us out and about, feel free to say hi and come talk to us about all things harm reduction. 🖤 We are people who use drugs, people who have lived experience, and/or people that simply love people who use drugs. We’re an all-volunteer & inclusive group composed of folks who are trans, q***r, indigenous & non-citizen immigrants.
We believe that everyone deserves bodily autonomy & should have the right to do whatever they want with their own bodies. We *know* that harm reduction saves lives, and that everyone deserves the right to BREATHE.
We also really suck at posting on our socials, so thanks for sticking it out with us. 😂
*OK, that’s debatable.

Our first Tuesday night site at the Phoenix Pride office was AWESOME. We gave out harm reduction supplies & drinks/snacks to 13 folks, which was more than we were expecting for our first night! Hopefully with word of mouth & more flyers out there we’ll be help more people in the weeks to come.
To be fair, it was also really nice just being able to relax & hang out together as a group, as we don’t get to do that often during our busy sites!
HUGE THANKS again to Phoenix Pride for hooking us up with this *perfect* spot to distro out of. Private property, centrally located, easily accessible… what more could we ask for? We’re so thankful to our community that *constantly* shows up and out for us as a group.

Come see us, starting tomorrow night, outside the Phoenix Pride Office every Tuesday from 6pm until around 7:30pm. We’ll be stocked with all of our usual harm reduction supplies - see the flyer for details and/or text 480.420.4526 with questions.
We want to sent a HUGE thank you out to for letting us use their parking lot to do distro. The city has gotten increasingly hostile towards harm reduction (even though it’s LEGAL), and having a place on private property to do distro is an incredible opportunity for us. We love our community.
While the site will start out slow, we’re hoping to grow it over the next few months & have some cool ideas in store. Stop by & say hi, pick up some harm reduction supplies, and keep yourself & your friends safe. EVERYONE is welcome to attend. 🖤🤍

One of RIOT’s co-founders & our good pal & their partner need a little extra help right now. Anything you can spare will be hugely appreciated. If you pitch in, send us a note, and we’ll mail you some stickers. 🖤 THAK YOU!!

Our new distro bags are so metal. 🤘🏻
When your local harm reduction org runs out of paper bags & finds a smokin’ deal on the auction site… pink unicorn bags for everyone! (Our folks find them hilarious.)

A huge thank you to for these awesome hand-knitted scarves/hats/gloves, along with an amazing donation she gave to yesterday. 🖤 (Mary made a bunch for us last year as well, and they got claimed so fast.) Thanks again, Mary!
Do you knit/crochet? We’d love to take any extra items off your hands for our participants. While it’s nice during the day, it still gets pretty cold at night for folks on the street, and these types of items are easy for folks to carry around with them.
As always, we couldn’t do this without our community & your incredible donations. 🖤 Ven.mo: or reach out to us via DM for physical donations.

Honouring the life of JJ.
This month the life of one of our unsheltered community members was tragically lost in a shooting. The murder of an innocent houseless individual isn’t deem “worthy” enough to make the news, but that doesn’t mean that he wasn’t loved by many of his neighbours & friends, many of whom considered him family. Pastor Susan at led a beautiful little memorial this past Thursday evening for those individuals to remember him & share stories. It was a privilege to attend & show solidarity.
There were 39 candles to represent his 39 short years of life. His friends wrote notes and left flowers where he would sleep, and where he was sadly lost.
Just as importantly, we’re sending so much love to our friends at , who were by his side until his very last moments, showing him in the most important way that his life truly *did* matter. 🖤
