We address the HIV/AIDS crisis with compassion, depth and relationships because...
- Harm reduction only works if it is put into action;
- We know that the only way to stop the spread of HIV in our community is to give people a reason to expect or want to live a long, healthy, happy life;
- We lead by example: by creating a safe, supportive, clean, positive environment for people who generally aren’t welcome anywhere, making it their place – a home away from home;
- Information is power; people have a right to make informed decisions about their own lives and health;
- Everyone has a story; they have a right to tell it without being dismissed or judged;
- We don’t “Help”, we companion;
- Someone has to do it;
- We humanize the demonized;
- It’s the decent, right thing to do;
- Harm reduction saves LIVES!
