STATEMENT OF SUPPORT
As a proud supporter of recovery, I proudly endorse the Nevada Recovery Advocacy Project's 2022 Platform.
The platform was created after listening to people in Recovery of many pathways, family members, and allies, that shared their experiences and barriers that they are facing in communities all across Nevada.
People in recovery have value and can be a resource to decision makers all across the state.
I Stand with the Nevada Recovery Advocacy Project and the Platform Priorities:
•Stigma
•Justice & Recovery Rights
•Pathways to Recovery
•Harm Reduction
•Housing
Today, I am joining others in the Recovery Community to have my voice heard and STAND UP for RECOVERY by endorsing this support statement around the 2022 Nevada Recovery Advocacy Project Platform.
