ALERT: Support California AB 518 to Legalize Needle Exchange
David Borden
editorialized in favor of AB 518, a bill sponsored by state
assemblywoman Kerry Mazzoni (D-San Rafael) to provide legal
protection to needle exchange programs in California that
operate with the approval of their local governments.
Please visit our new Needle Exchange Action site at
http://www.drcnet.org/nepaction/ to send an e-mail or fax to
your assemblymember and state senator in support of AB 518.
People laboring to stop the spread of deadly diseases like
hepatitis and AIDS shouldn't have to worry about getting
arrested for it!
If you want to do more, please submit a letter to the editor
in support of the Chronicle's stance. Send it to: Letters
to the Editor, San Francisco Chronicle, 901 Mission Street,
San Francisco, CA 94103, or fax to (415) 543-7708 or e-mail
to chronl...@sfgate.com. Letters should be 250 words or
less (the shorter the more likely to get published) and
include your name, address and phone for verification.
(Please send us a copy of your letter -- e-mail it to alert-
feed...@drcnet.org.) Send letters to other local and
statewide papers too!
