Washington volunteers says they were probed for cleaning up needles dailymail.com/news/article-1…
www.dailymail.com Washington volunteers says they were probed for cleaning up needles We Heart Seattle, which is run by Andrea Suarez, sends out volunteer groups to pick up used needles, fentanyl foils, and other drug paraphernalia to keep parks and public spaces safe. State of Washington is investigating We Heart Seattle for picking up the needles and fentanyl foil they hand out.
For six years we’ve removed hundreds of thousands of pieces of used drug paraphernalia from Seattle parks, greenbelts, and neighborhoods, the exact litter created by government-funded distribution programs.
Now L&I is investigating us for “improperly” collecting the same needles and foil that officials freely distribute and then leave for communities to deal with. This bureaucratic overreach will drain time and resources meant for cleanups and outreach.
If you believe this is hypocritical and want the work to continue, support us today: weheartseattle.org
We pick up what they drop. Don’t let them stop us.View quoted post on X

Key points with @SandraSmithFox on @FoxNews @AmericaRpts 1: We are repeating the failed approach of giving addicts free housing before medical detox and psychiatric care 2: Drugs are not free thus crime upticks in nearby neighborhoods 3: The government enables addiction
