Juneteenth honors freedom, resilience, and the ongoing pursuit of equity and justice.

At SRHN, we believe that lifesaving resources, compassionate care, and the opportunity to live with dignity should be accessible to everyone. As we work to prevent overdose deaths, reduce stigma, and expand access to harm reduction tools, we recognize that health equity is essential to building safer and stronger communities.

Today, we reflect on the legacy of Black liberation, celebrate the contributions of Black communities, and recommit ourselves to a future where all people have the support, respect, and resources to thrive.

A special thanks to and Northside Juneteenth Weekend Celebration for hosting Juneteenth celebrations and creating opportunities for community connection and joy. We’re honored that SRHN could be part of these incredible events!

⚠️ OVERDOSE ALERT: 23 SUSPECTED OVERDOSES, 2 SUSPECTED FATAL OVERDOSES IN DAKOTA COUNTY 4 DAY SPAN⚠️

Health and public safety officials are urging residents to remain vigilant after a sharp increase in suspected overdoses across Dakota County over the past several days.

Between May 29 and June 2, authorities report there have been 23 suspected overdoses and two suspected fatal overdoses within Dakota County.

Officials are warning that any street drug should be considered potentially dangerous, as fentanyl and other powerful synthetic substances continue to be found in a wide variety of illicit drugs. In many cases, people may not know the substances they are using contain fentanyl until it is too late.

Community members are encouraged to check on friends, family members, and loved ones who may be struggling with substance use or who may be at risk of an overdose.

Know the signs of a possible overdose:

• Person cannot be awakened or is unresponsive
• Slow, shallow, or stopped breathing
• Blue or gray lips, fingertips, or skin
• Gurgling, choking, or unusual breathing sounds
• Loss of consciousness

If you suspect an overdose:

• Call 911 immediately
• Administer naloxone (Narcan) if available
• Stay with the person until emergency responders arrive
• Do not assume they will “sleep it off”

Officials are strongly encouraging anyone who uses substances, or who knows someone who does, to carry naloxone. Narcan can reverse the effects of an opioid overdose and save a life when administered quickly.

This increase in overdoses serves as a reminder that the ongoing fentanyl crisis continues to impact communities across Minnesota, affecting people of all ages, backgrounds, and neighborhoods.

Please share this information. It could save a life.

Happy Pride! 🌈 Everyone deserves care, respect, and access to lifesaving support, exactly as they are.

At Steve Rummler HOPE Network, we believe that harm reduction starts with compassion, dignity, and meeting people where they are. Pride Month is a time to celebrate the strength, resilience, and joy of LGBTQ+ communities while recognizing the importance of creating spaces where everyone feels safe, supported, and valued.

Through overdose prevention, substance use education, advocacy, and community outreach, we are committed to reducing stigma and expanding access to lifesaving resources for all people. We know that LGBTQ+ individuals often face unique barriers to healthcare and support, making inclusive, affirming harm reduction efforts more important than ever.

This month and every month, we stand with LGBTQ+ communities by promoting health, hope, and belonging. Together, we can spread q***r joy, show radical love, and build a future where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.

🌈 Happy Pride Month!
