The article describes the formation of the Church of Safe Injection (SI), a harm reduction clinic characterized as a church. This religious affiliation could provide protection to the organization if legally challenged. Founder Jesse Harvey, a peer recovery coach, has stated that the church is "compelled to break the law because of our commitment to humanity, human rights, and public health."
