Mission
National Survivors Union's mission is to end the racist war on drugs, the war on sex workers, the war on underground economies, and the war on poverty. We accomplish this through organizing and mobilizing, empowerment and skill-building, and holding increasingly professionalized harm reduction and public health spaces accountable to people who use drugs and trade sex. We hold the values of being led by impacted people through non-hierarchical organizing and collective leadership, a shared messaging of pride and love, meaningful engagement, and intersectional experiences. Our goals are to give people who use and sell drugs and people who trade sex the resources they need to not only survive but thrive through racist drug and anti-trafficking wars, nurturing fellow drug user and sex worker brilliance and achievement.
