Hi friends!

For those who don't know, we've been struggling with Meta for over a year now. Our content is being continually flagged and removed, including posts that are several years old. Our Facebook account currently is heavily restricted, and in late December the personal account of our social media manager was permanently deleted.

We are hearing of this happening to other drug harm reduction organisations (in Aotearoa and internationally) for posting harm reduction advice.

We're legally required to give harm reduction advice about drugs as part of our licence under Section 35DB of the Drug and Substance Checking Legislation Act 2021.

Facebook is preventing us from doing that, so we're out. Also, we ain't got time to argue with algorithms and file endless dispute reports.

Please share if you can, since this won't be displayed unless someone knows to come find it.

With love from all the team at KYSNZ, see you elsewhere! 💛🙂

BRING YOUR DRUGS TO FESTIVALS!

Paracetamol, ibuprofen, antihistamines, throat lozenges!
If you have a medical condition, bring your meds! Inhalers, EpiPens etc, even if you probably won't need it, bring it!
Maybe even bring your own plasters or you could go full-prepper and bring a stocked first aid kit! Pros might even consider extra sanitary products, condoms and earplugs.
We're still there to help if you need, we just want to help you be prepared too.
For not-paracetmol or antihistamines- see Know Your Stuff NZ so you can know your stuff 💛
No one wants to have to visit the med tent at a party. We love to hang out with you, but we'd rather do it on the dancefloor 💜

Earlier this year, we joined with other care teams to share some of our experience in a training context for the first time. Hopefully this was just the first of many 🙂

Students for Sensible Drug Policy Aotearoa New Zealand has hosted a harm reduction training seminar through their chapter in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland.
