George Kerr III

I am committed to educating, training, advocating and collaborating for social justice through harm reduction. I have a long and committed history of effectively working with some of the District's most prominent health service providers and have motivated hundreds of individuals to advocate for those who the stigma of HIV and substance abuse has silenced. I believe that TOGETHER, we can build a healthier community.
