Creative Resistance: arts-based activism and drug policy in Colorado

Join us for Creative Resistance: Arts-Based Activism and Drug Policy in Colorado, an evening with Heather Edney celebrating the release of 8:32, a zine co-created with local drug user leaders.

The gathering brings together local zinemakers, the art community, harm reduction advocates, and PWUD (people who use drugs) organizers for a night of celebration and community. Together we'll explore how art, storytelling, zines, and community education can shape humane, anti-carceral drug policy in Colorado.

The evening will include a community conversation with Heather Edney and local drug policy advocates, the launch of the 8:32 zine, and a collaborative group collage / zine-making activity rooted in drug user solidarity and power — with more activities to be announced.

Featuring local DJ Chinola creating an immersive sonic experience with psychedelic jazz textures and genre-bending selections throughout the night.

Co-organized by the Harm Reduction Action Center, the Colorado Drug Policy Coalition, and eastfaxHR.
