Vote YES on SB926! Support SSPs in Pennsylvania!

We ask you to contact Senator Lisa Baker's office (717) 787-7428) and demand for SB926 to be moved out of the Senate Judiciary Committee and onto the floor. We are days away from the summer legislative break. Thanks to you, we have come so far. We must keep fighting for expanded access to SSPs.

Pennsylvania Harm Reduction Network urges the community and Pennsylvania’s legislators to support PA HB2264 and SB926 for Syringe Service Programs (SSPs)!

Pennsylvania families and communities are devastated by the needless loss of loved ones. Drug overdose is the leading cause of accidental death in PA and has the 3rd highest rate of overdose deaths in the country. PA also ranks with the 9th highest rate of new HIV infections nationwide. Hepatitis C rates are also rising across the state. Currently, most local health departments, medical professionals, and social service providers are not legally permitted to provide syringe services in PA.

SB926 will increase life-saving access to sterile syringes and other medical supplies, disposal of syringes, HIV/HEP-C testing, naloxone distribution and training, treatment referrals for mental health, substance use disorder, and other social services to prevent disease and death among Pennsylvanians. Tell Senator Baker to vote YES on SB926 by taking action now!
