Nebraska senators voted 27-20 in favor of overriding Gov. Jim Pillen's veto of a needle exchange bill, falling three votes short of the number needed to override.

In 1985, doctors at a methadone clinic in the South Bronx made the harrowing discovery: 50 percent of its patients had HIV. Three years later, in the same neighborhood, a pair of epidemiologists estimated that as many as one in five young men were positive for the disease. Those numbers made the South Bronx one of most critical hotspots for HIV in the country.Joyce Rivera was born and raised in the South Bronx. She watched as heroin flooded into her neighborhood followed by HIV. When Rivera's brother died in 1987, she decided to do something. Working with a heroin dealer and a local priest, she defied the law and set up an illegal needle exchange in an attempt to prevent the transmission of HIV among injection drug users. And she largely succeeded. But what if this country had treated drug addiction like a public health issue instead of a criminal problem?Voices in this episode include:• Don Des Jarlais has been a leader in the field of HIV and AIDS research among persons who inject drugs (PWID) for nearly 40 years. A professor of epidemiology at New York University, he served as the principal investigator of the “Risk Factors” study, which was instrumental in tracking the HIV and AIDS epidemic in New York City, among numerous others.• Sister Eileen Hogan was the first female chaplain in the Department of Correction in New York City.• Dr. Arye Rubinstein is an immunologist and allergist on the faculty at Albert Einstein Medical Center and Montefiore Medical Center. An early pioneer in AIDS research and treatment for children, he founded the pediatric AIDS center at Einstein in the early 1980s.• Joyce Rivera is the founder of St. Ann's Corner of Harm Reduction, one of the first syringe-exchange programs in New York City. A National Science Foundation Fellow from 1981 to 1984, Rivera has been a leader in the field of AIDS and substance use for 35 years.• Father Luis Barrios is a priest and a professor of Latin American and Latinx studies and sociology at both John Jay College and the CUNY Graduate Center.• Robert Fullilove is associate dean for community and minority affairs at Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health, as well as a professor of clinical sociomedical sciences and the co-director of the Cities Research Group.Blindspot is a co-production of The HISTORY® Channel and WNYC Studios, in collaboration with The Nation Magazine.A companion photography exhibit by Kia LaBeija featuring portraits from the series is on view through March 11 at The Greene Space at WNYC.

Corri, a harm reduction advocate, shares her journey of personal recovery from substance use and self-destructive behaviors. They discuss their role as the manager of drug user health at Nastad, a nonprofit organization focusing on harm reduction. Corri explains that Nastad operates a Technical Assistance Center for Harm Reduction, providing resources and training to support harm reduction practices for various organizations and individuals. They introduce harm reduction strategies like syringe exchange programs and safe consumption sites. Syringe exchange programs allow individuals to safely dispose of used syringes and obtain sterile ones, reducing the spread of infectious diseases and encouraging treatment. Safe consumption sites provide supervised spaces for substance use, with medical professionals present to prevent overdoses and offer resources. Phil inquires about the arguments against safe consumption sites, to which Corri emphasizes the importance of compassion and support over shame and stigma. They believe that meeting individuals where they are and providing a nonjudgmental environment can make a significant positive impact. Corri opens up about her personal recovery journey, their struggles with opioid use, and other self-destructive behaviors. They found recovery through therapy, community support, and engaging in creative activities such as yoga, aerial arts, and art journaling. Corri is open about occasional recreational substance use like marijuana and wine, which they view within a harm reduction context. They discuss their upcoming presentation at the Multiple Pathways to Recovery conference in August, where they plans to delve into harm reduction principles and how they can be incorporated into different practices. Throughout the conversation, Corri emphasizes the importance of harm reduction as a way to provide support, compassion, and resources to individuals struggling with substance use and promote their overall well-being.

Did you know that as of September 2021, needle exchanges for the purpose of harm reduction are legal in Arizona? Joins us as we talk with a public defender attorney about what the law says, and ask a volunteer harm reductionist about what that looks like in practice at an actual syringe exchange site.

Did you know that harm reduction and needle exchanges are evidence-based public health strategies? Now that they are legal in Arizona, let's dive deeper into the topic. This week we'll talk with Tory Howell, from Shot in the Dark - a harm reduction program that offers syringe exchanges about the principles and evidence behind harm reduction.

A balance sheet shows treatment for HIV is our most successful public health programme ever. The bottom line of some new data is that the New Zealand Needle Exchange Programme has doubled its return over the last 20 years, indicating less is spent now than it was in the early 2000s on treating HIV, also hepatitis B and C, and other injection-related injuries. 34 years ago, in 1988, New Zealand was the first country in the world to introduce a national, government-funded needle exchange programme - for people who inject legal and illegal drugs. Many of its clients are unable to use normal mainstream health services, either because they're using illegal drugs or because of real or perceived stigma. The programme aims to reduce harm to people who inject drugs - often savings their lives. National Operations Manger Philippa Jones tells Kathryn Ryan it also aims to reduce the incidence of HIV and hepatitis in the community.

Organizers tried to get the message out for months ahead of time, worried some people might slip through the cracks and miss out on services.

Addiction specialist and best-selling author Maia Szalavitz joins me to talk about her new book, Undoing Drugs: The Untold Story of Harm Reduction and the Future of Addiction.Maia has been researching, writing about, and working within the harm reduction community for more than twenty years, and her latest book is just one of many required reads for anyone who is beginning to realize they have been lied to about drugs and those who use them. Maia and I discuss different frameworks of recovery, definitions of harm reduction, and ways of embracing our identities (as addicted people, Aspies, etc.) without letting them weigh us down.  We also talk about Nirvana & Kurt Cobain, drug regulation as a fix to the overdose crisis, ways of undoing stigma,  and we preview the best parts of her new book.

When a constituent first came came in to advocate for needle exchange programming, Oklahoma State Rep. Carol Bush wasn't sure what to think. That didn't sound like the kind of policy likely to succeed in Oklahoma's deeply conservative statehouse. She and other supporters focused on the policy's public safety benefits and leaned on famous Republicans who have supported similar legislation, including former Vice President Mike Pence.

Drug users are dying from street drugs in record numbers. Yet most of us still turn away when our friends let us know that they are struggling with addiction. COVID-19 has only made things worse. Once we push the drug users in our life away--good ol' tough love--they often wind up on the streets, where there are few services available to them. The Denver Harm Reduction Action Center is one of the few resources devoted to the safety and well-being of addicted people in the local community, and their mission aligns with those of harm reduction centers and activists across the country. Kat Humphries joins me to discuss their services, their needs, and the effects of COVID on homeless and drug-using communities.

Correctional Service Canada has started a needle exchange program to begin in Canadian prisons. Is this beneficial for inmates or does it bring too much unnecessary risk to the prisoners and to the guards? As well, the Canada Border Services Agency has moved border officers from other posts to Quebec City, in response to the thousands of illegal border crossings from the U.S. And Hassen Diab is a Lebanese-Canadian citizen and university professor who France alleged was behind a 1980 terrorist attack on a Paris synagogue that killed four people.
