SUMMARY:Book Signing with Garth Mullins
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a book signing with Garth Mullins; author of “Crackdown: Surviving and Resisting the War on Drugs”. This will be in collaboration with the Name the Crisis community art show\, which will be running from April 7-26th. Prior to the signing\, you can attend Garth’s reading and Q&A event at the Victoria Art Council Bay Centre Gallery at 1150 Douglas Street from 2-3:30pm! \n“Crackdown” is an intimate portrait of Garth’s relationship with opioids\, and a searing indictment of a broken system that is failing drug users and non-users alike. With street drugs getting more toxic by the day\, drug users and their families\, friends and communities are left to pay the price. This book asks us to radically reimagine our approach to drug use\, and to envisage a system that helps rather than harms. \nWhat: Book Signing with Garth Mullins \nWhen: Saturday\, April 18th from 3:30-5:00pm \nWhere: Munro’s Books – 1108 Government St \nHow: This event is free to attend
