Traci Letts, Langley, BC
I am a passionate advocate and dedicated activist honoured to be serving as the Vice-Chair of Moms Stop The Harm. With a deep-rooted belief in the power of grassroots movements, I have dedicated my time to fighting against various forms of drug related harm and stigma, by providing community based education with the hope of creating positive social change. My passion lies in raising awareness about the harmful influences of colonialism, classism, racism and prohibitionist drug policy that negatively impact the society we live in.
Drawing from my personal experiences as a mother, sister and former partner of illicit drug users, I bring a compassionate and understanding perspective to this work. Angered by the profound lack of care on the part of the government to remove punitive prohibitionist policies that infringe on the charter rights of individuals and replace them with low barrier equitable evidence- based policies and programs, has only reinforced my commitment to the mission of MSTH.
As Vice-Chair, I look forward to playing a pivotal role in the strategic planning and implementation of the organization's initiatives. Collaborating with our diverse team of dedicated volunteers and members to develop new educational programs, advocate for policy reforms, and mobilize communities to take action against harm is my passion.
