We are a grassroots harm reduction group operating since 2022, mainly based in Los Angeles where we table raves with free supplies ranging from naloxone and fent test strips to clean straws, gum, B12 and earplugs. We write and create our own art for our informational zines. We support other harm reduction groups in the US with printable information and supplies.
Our “Radical Guide to Drugs” has been printed and distributed across the US and Canada as an anti-copyright piece, totally free for other groups to print, alter and distribute. The guide has been printed and distributed in California, Arizona, Utah, Oregon, Philadelphia and beyond!
Our main focus is on the parties where supplies are the least available and participants least able to bring gear themselves. That means educating people about B12 and nitrous oxide, Hep C risks with unclean straws, what drugs are commonly cut with and more. Sometimes we’re the people helping someone with a bad trip, sometimes we’re helping someone figure out if the tab they got might kill them, or just giving an isolated vulnerable person something to feel safer on the walk home. In extreme cases we’re giving first aid for gunshots and helping everyone leave quickly.
We are self funded, we buy the straws, water, paper, ink and more.
We accept one-time direct donations through Square:
You can also support us monthly through Patreon, where we sometimes get exclusive mixes or sets from the local scene:
Our immediate goal is to keep the organization running: buying enough water, earplugs, gum, and B12 to keep giving them out and paying the rent on the storage unit. How much this costs varies depending on how many supplies we give out per event and changes week to week, but runs a few hundred dollars a month on average.
In the medium term we need to repair and maintain our production supplies. Replacing broken paper cutters, printer repair and ink, as well as covering the rent for the space we use to store our supplies and work out of. Sometimes we invest in other things like comprehensive medical kits and lighting. The costs here change a lot, when we replaced our black/gray printer with a color refillable ink printer it was about $300, whereas getting lights is $30.
In the long term we’re looking to move to a larger space and enable more people to distro harm reduction. Ideally get and create a DIY space that is free to use so more people can put more things on for the scene. This would become possible with 2-3 thousand dollars a month.
