Jasmine Guerra (She/Her) – Executive Director graduated from Humboldt State University with a Bachelor’s of Arts in Psychology in 2020. Her first introduction to HACHR was when Jessica Smith (former HACHR ED) presented in one of her classes at HSU, where she later volunteered as part of a Service Learning Project. What she realized is that harm reduction fit into her values and philosophy before ever having the term for it. Many of her family members are active or former drug users, and currently or formerly incarcerated. Before finding harm reduction life was difficult to navigate. She witnessed how the system treated people who use drugs and formerly incarcerated people first hand. In the midst of the War on Drugs, painful stigmas and old-school expectations of what “recovery” looks like, harm reduction has given her a chance to fight for the rights and dignity of people who use drugs through compassion, healing, education and research.
