Ontario has passed two dangerous laws. Bill 6 and Bill 223 expand policing, shut down life-saving safe consumption sites, and criminalize people for suspected drug use outdoors.
These laws will increase overdose deaths, push people out of encampments, and disproportionately harm Indigenous people, who already face higher rates of homelessness, policing, incarceration, and gendered violence.
People who use drugs have fundamental rights that must be respected and protected.
Take action now: Call on the Ontario government to repeal Bill 6 and Bill 223 and invest in community-led harm reduction.
