Black Lives Matter Paterson recently signed a lease to transform a vacant storefront into a resource center to serve as a base for our Harm Reduction Outreach efforts.

Our Harm Reduction Outreach team currently provides life-saving resources to individuals in our community who use opioids. We have successfully linked community members to detox centers and housing.

Last month, our outreach team was able to administer Narcan to reverse an overdose and save the life of a community member.

BLM Paterson needs your financial support to be able to rennovate the storefront to make it a safe and welcoming space. Your gift enables BLM Paterson to continue providing the opportunities, staffing, and resources critical to serving the our community. Your gift is urgently needed to maintain the present operation.

Phase 1 - $5,000 - completed.

Phase 2- $7,500

We hope to raise $20,000 by January in order to fund the transformation of the space.
