Yuba Harm Reduction Collective
Yuba Harm Reduction Collective's (YHRC) vision is to create a community of care that centers the experiences of people who use drugs and those who love them. They acknowledge the ever-present reality of substance use and work to address the potentially harmful aspects of substance use, along with the discriminatory policies and forms of structural violence that surround it.
They seek to de-stigmatize the consumption of all psychoactive substances, increase knowledge around safe drug use, and decrease barriers to resources and services. They also collaborate with community members to identify needs.
YRHRC's goal is for all people to live safer and healthier lives, regardless of substance use, housing status, mental health status, disability, race, ethnicity, gender, gender expression, sexual orientation, age, economic status, immigration status, incarceration status, religion, or any other labels that may marginalize a person's experiences.
