Event starts at 6:30 @ UUBN, doors open at 6:15 and you can stick around a bit after to talk to community organization/non-profit tables and talk to each other.

Join us for a free community naloxone administration training designed to help prevent opioid overdose deaths and build a safer, healthier community. Participants will learn how to recognize and respond to an overdose, administer naloxone (Narcan®,Padagis®), and connect individuals and families with local recovery resources and supports. Harm reduction saves lives. Through practical strategies such as overdose education, carrying naloxone, using fentanyl test strips, safe medication disposal, and connecting people to support services, we can reduce the risks associated with substance use and create more opportunities for recovery. Every life saved is another chance for treatment, healing, and hope. Participants will learn:

– The basics of opioids, fentanyl, and overdose risk factors.

– How to recognize the signs of an opioid overdose.

– The six-step overdose response plan.

– How to safely administer naloxone.

– Illinois Good Samaritan Law protections

– Local recovery, treatment, and support resources in McLean County.

Join us for an afternoon of digital security education! Your phone is constantly sharing private information with tech companies, which can be a problem when fighting for what you believe in. The solutions are simple and anyone can do them. Bring your phone and let's get it secure together!

The class begins at 3:00 and runs about 90 minutes with Q&A. We will open the doors early at 2:30 and have time after for people to engage with some community tables representing aligned non-partisan community groups, or just hang out or mill around and chat.

Free! This event is hosted by the UUBN Social Justice Team as part of our mission to empower community activism, at no cost to participants. It is presented by a security professional outside our organization that we know as a friend but who does not wish to be advertised. We invite a few other groups as co-hosts to table, find information about them below or talk to them at the event.

We value privacy so please no pictures or video, any slides will be made available to you by the presenter directly or indirectly.
