Dear Friends
Respect Drug Users Union was a grassroots drug user group campaigning for the health and rights of people who use drugs in the 1990s. We had 5 groups in different parts of East London, Brighton and Birmingham and specialist groups like the Crack Squad and Dance Drugs Alliance.
We used the Respect name to run a peer-to-peer needle and syringe programme in Bath and North East Somerset for the last five years.
We have been talking about re-launching the grassroots drug user group model using the Respect brand. Would anyone or more people be interested in helping us sustain activity on this page?
Thanks
