What is a Drug User Union?

A drug user union is a collective organization where individuals who use drugs come together to advocate for their rights, safety, and dignity. These unions work to combat the stigma associated with drug use, provide harm reduction resources, and promote policies that prioritize the health and human rights of drug users. They operate on the principle that people who use drugs should have a voice in the decisions that affect their lives and well-being. Such unions are part of a broader movement that seeks to change the way society views and treats drug use and addiction, emphasizing support and care instead of criminalization.

These organizations offer a platform for members to share experiences, access resources, and create a sense of belonging. By focusing on the well-being of its members, a drug user’s union can become a beacon of hope, empowering its members to navigate life’s challenges. The collective strength found in unions underscores the importance of compassion and community.
