Action Alert: Sign Petition to Drop Syringe Exchange Ban (Again)
Posted by Kenyon Farrow , February 07, 2012
Our friends at *Harm Reduction Coalition* are pushing to end the ban on federal funding for syringe exchange programs for once and for all. We thought we’d gotten past the ban, but last December it was slipped into a spending bill at the 11th hour.
*Speaker John Boehner (OH- R) and Chairman Hal Rogers (KY- R)* are the two Members of Congress most responsible for reinstating the ban on the use of federal funds for syringe exchange. Please join us in letting them know we strongly object to their actions by signing on today, and please spread this alert. We will deliver them in person with as many signatures as possible *by February 15!*
