The National Harm Reduction Coalition is a national advocacy and capacity-building organization that promotes the health and dignity of individuals and communities impacted by drug use. Their efforts create spaces for dialogue and action that help heal the harms caused by racialized drug policies and build evidence-based strategies with and for people who use drugs.

The Harm Reduction Journal is an open access, peer-reviewed journal that publishes research and commentary on approaches diminishing the harm of stigmatization and criminalization of public health, human rights and social justice issues. Harm Reduction Journal encourages submissions on a wide range of topics and we define harm reduction as 'policies and programs aiming to reduce the health, social, and economic costs of a behavior without necessarily reducing the behavior itself'.
