Dear Comrades PLEASE POST THIS TO RELEVANT SERVERS AND LISTS! HEROIN TOLL OUTRACING THE ROAD TOLL HOWARDS "ZERO TOLERANCE" = "ZERO TREATMENT" !!! HEROIN IS A HEALTH ISSUE, NOT A LEGAL ISSUE !!! On Wednesday May the 5th, the Militant Socialist Organisation is holding a free PUBLIC MEETING on the HEROIN ISSUE at Trades Hall (Victoria) (Cnr Victoria St and Lygon St) starting at 7pm. This meeting follows a rally on Smith St Collingwood last week which was well attended and very well received. The aim of the Trades Hall meeting is to begin a broad based, community wide campaign on the heroin issue, a campaign which will include user groups, support and infrastructure groups, friends and families, students, concerned family members, trade unionists etc etc. We want as many people from as many fields / organisations as possible to attend. Items mooted for consideration in this united front campaign include free state distribution of clean, regulated heroin to registered, long term addicts; the introduction of safe shooting rooms with trained nurses present at all times; the expansion of needle exchange programs; increased funding to existing rehab centres and the creation of new ones; more education in schools and in the wider community etc etc. At present, we are building for this meeting. If anyone has a list of email addresses or web site addresses that we could send a serial email to to inform others of the meeting, please forward it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] as soon as possible. It would be much appreciated if those in the field could pass this email and request on to other groups and concerned individuals, and to all appropriate list servers, discussion groups, discussion pods, bulletin boards, and so on.
