The National Harm Reduction Coalition is a national advocacy and capacity-building organization that promotes the health and dignity of people affected by drug use.  They work to create spaces for dialogue and action that help heal the harms caused by racialized drug policies and to increase access to evidence-based harm reduction strategies like overdose prevention and syringe access.

SAFER is NYU Law's harm reduction organization.  We collaborate with community organizations such as VOCAL-NY to host legal resource clinics to connect low-income New Yorkers impacted by the legal system with resources for representation and support.  We also work to educate students about the principles of harm reduction and to encourage them to apply those principles in their future work in the legal field.
