Join the Philadelphia Coalition for Dignity in Treatment for a screening of Dope Is Death (2020), a documentary about how Dr. Mutulu Shakur, along with fellow Black Panthers and the Young Lords, combined community health with radical politics to create the first acupuncture detoxification program in America in 1973 - a visionary project eventually deemed too dangerous to exist. Following the screening, we’ll discuss what lessons we can apply to our present fight for bodily autonomy and community control of treatment in Philadelphia and beyond.

Guests who give a suggested donation of at least $20 will receive a free copy of For Health Autonomy: Horizons of Care Beyond Austerity—Reflections from Greece by The CareNotes Collective from Common Notions Press.
