They have achieved the legalisation of needle and syringe exchanges in many states, successfully campaigned for hepatitis C treatment, and fought hard against the extremely harsh criminalisation of drug use around the US. In the US last year 70 thousand people died of overdose, and it is activists who, with the leadership of Dan Bigg, have made naloxone widely available. There is even an underground safer consumption facility somewhere in the United States, which is saving lives at this very moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In today&#8217;s episode you can witness the oral history of the users\u2019 movement, as told by <strong>Louise Vincent<\/strong> from the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/ncurbansurvivorunion.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">Urban Survivors Union<\/a> (USU), <strong>Hollis<\/strong>, who for a long time worked at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sfdrugusersunion\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">San Francisco Drug Users Union<\/a>, and from <strong>Robert Suarez<\/strong>, who is a long-time activist at <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.vocal-ny.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">VOCAL-NY<\/a> and USU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Starting on Monday, 6th of July 2020, we publish one episode per week for 10 weeks.

We conducted 34 video interviews in 20 countries around the world. 8 interviews were filmed by the Rights Reporter Foundation, the rest by members of our <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/drogriporter.hu\/en\/category\/drugreporter-video-advocacy-network\/\" target=\"_blank\">Drugreporter Video Advocacy Network<\/a>, video activists, and freelance videographers worldwide.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-very-light-gray-background-color has-background\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hiv2020.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"949\" height=\"351\" src=\"https:\/\/drogriporter.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2020\/07\/hiv2020.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13374\" srcset=\"https:\/\/drogriporter.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2020\/07\/hiv2020.png 949w, https:\/\/drogriporter.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2020\/07\/hiv2020-300x111.png 300w, https:\/\/drogriporter.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2020\/07\/hiv2020-768x284.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 949px) 100vw, 949px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The documentary series is part of the online conference &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hiv2020.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">HIV 2020: Community Reclaiming the Global Response<\/a>&#8221; which runs from July through October of 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An alliance of global key population-led networks, networks of people living with HIV, treatment activists, and our supporters, has formed to organize an alternative international community-led online event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The HIV2020 alliance has decided to organize the community-led event to provide an alternative for individuals who cannot or will participate in the AIDS2020 virtual conference.
