- Arlo Santiago Cruz
Panelist
Arlo Santiago Cruz is a fierce and outspoken advocate for people who use drugs, getting his start by receiving and providing mutual aid. Arlo now works for the only syringe access program providing supplies to folks living in Northern Colorado, but keeps to his roots by participating in community organizing and distribution of food and survival gear. Their goal is to continuously uplift the voices of those who have/are using highly stigmatized substances and redefine what "care" looks like for those who are queer, use drugs, participate in sex work, or are unhoused. Arlo has spoken on local and national panels regarding gender-affirming care, best practices for TGNC+ folks accessing syringes service programs, and the importance of implementing and expanding harm reduction-based services in underserved communities.
