HIPS

HIPS DC’s Home of Harm Reduction

We believe that those engaged in sex work, sex trade, and drug use should be able to live healthy, self-determined, and self-sufficient lives free from stigma, violence, criminalization or oppression. We will achieve this through engaging sex workers, drug users and our communities in challenging structural barriers to health, safety, and prosperity.

Y’all are amazing.

Thank you to everyone who donated, shared, commented or helped spread the word. You showed up for HIPS in a huge way.

We have met our original goal. We are leaving the fundraising page up (link in first comment), and any additional gifts will go toward security and the safety of our clients and team.

Thank you. Truly.

This is not an April Fools joke. We really wish it were.
When HIPS staff arrived at our main drop-in center this morning, we found that someone had thrown a brick through the window overnight.
We are trying to raise $3,945 to help us respond.
If 100 people give $40, we will get there.
Please donate today to help us keep this space safe, functional and open.

Happy Valentine's Day! Let’s honor all forms of love. Love for friends, family, co-workers, our pets, plants and most importantly — ourselves.

Let’s honor all forms of growth. Every positive step, every small change toward accepting ourselves, flaws and all, is a cause for celebration. We celebrate you today!
