COPrevent Updates and Action Needed

Overdose Awareness Day
Join us as we gather to pay tribute to those we have lost and raise awareness on what we can do to stop accidental overdoses here in Colorado on August 31, International Overdose Awareness Day.
https://www.facebook.com/events/892721947499196/

We will meet at the Harm Reduction Action Center (231 E. Colfax Ave.) at 3:30pm and proceed to Colfax & Broadway where we will raise awareness with passerby's and hold signs to raise awareness to the drivers in that intersection. We have pushed our event to later in the day this year (4:00 - 5:30pm) in an effort to allow more to attend and in hopes to create a bigger impact by raising awareness during rush hour. We need to stop the silence in our community.

Help prevent overdose fatalities - www.stoptheclockColorado.org is a website that Harm Reduction Action Center has put together to help Coloradans find where they can access Naloxone today throughout the state.
