March 21st is the National Day of Action for Syringe Exchange Programs, and advocacy work is needed now more than ever!

No more federal dollars for syringe exchange: that was the message from Congress less than 3 months ago.
The funding ban is back, and the timing couldn’t be worse — with tight state budgets, and signs that many painkiller users are injecting or switching to heroin, our syringe exchange programs need more support than ever.
WWAV stands with our allies across the country who made their voices heard at local meetings with US Senators, media events to highlight issues, and a National Call-in Day to bring our opposition to Congress’ doorstep and let them know that we’re committed to syringe exchange and won’t back down!
What: National Day of Action on Syringe Exchange
When: March 21, 2012
