International Day of Global Action for Support Don’t Punish – a global grassroots campaign centred on raising the awareness of harm reduction policies, public health, and human rights. This year, CSSDP partnered with Support. Don’t Punish, Stimulus Connect and Paradigma to facilitate two webinars on June 26, the Global Day of Action. Simultaneous interpretation was provided.
Our first webinar, “Youth Drug Policy, Then and Now” was a discussion of how youth drug policy landscapes have changed over time and key takeaways of our advancements. The panelists were Tara Lyons, Nazlee Maghsoudi, Kira London – Nadeau and it was moderated by Alex Betsos.
Following our first webinar, we held “Youth Talks Support Don’t Punish” in collaboration with Stimulus Connect. In collaboration with young people across the country, “Youth Talks Support Don’t Punish” centred the perspectives of those who are currently working to end the war on drugs in their respective communities and how they mobilize and strategize with other young people in solidarity with the movement. The panelists were Iye Sanneh, Grace Nie and Emily Wadden and it was moderated by Donald MacPherson.
