Shira Hassan

Shira Hassan is the co-creator of Just Practice, a capacity building project working at the intersection of transformative justice, harm reduction and collective liberation. In 2022, Haymarket Books published Saving Our Own Lives: A Liberatory Practice of Harm Reduction, an anthology of essays from Shira, featuring many collaborators, telling the stories of how sex workers, drug users, Black, Indigenous, and people of color, queer folks, trans, gender non-conforming, and two-spirit people are – and have been – building systems of change and support outside the societal frameworks of oppression and exploitation.

Shira was a speaker at the 2023 Socialism Conference.
