This website will sent a letter to your Federal Congress Representative, but also if you know others who may be interested helping you can send them the information so they can help too. Please help use win and stop the spread of HIV and Hepatitis.


Representative Jose Serrano, from New York has designed HR6680 to lift the ban on US federal money to be use on Syringe Exchange Program. So far there are 44 co sponsors.

You guys do me a favor and send a letter to Representative Jose Serrano from New York for introducing this legislation into the United States House of Representatives.


It is possibly the first Harm Reduction bill introduced in the United States government since Nixon and then Ragen started the War on Drugs. You guys do not know what this could mean for the future. We might beging to have some advocates in the US Government
