Stop Harm on Tulsa Streets has been working under the radar for three years to distribute fresh syringes, fentanyl test strips, naloxone and other items to prevent overdose deaths and reduce the spread of disease that can occur when drug users share needles.
Under a new law that legalizes needle exchange programs in Oklahoma, the group will be able to make its underground operation more public in the hopes of helping more people.
Hana Fields started Stop Harm on Tulsa Streets after seeing needle exchange programs in Arizona. When she moved back to Tulsa, she arrived with 500 doses of naloxone which can reverse an opiate overdose and sought help with distribution.
