Spencer Dietrich - Committee

Born and raised in Canada, Spencer has been involved in harm reduction and advocating for change for over a decade, including a significant period of lived experience. She’s seen and experienced first-hand the harms caused by prohibitive drug policy and witnessed the numerous positive changes that can follow drug legalisation (e.g. the legalisation of cannabis in Canada).

Spencer is now living in New Zealand, working in the harm reduction sector. She helps provide several programs for the many communities of people who use drugs. Spencer is proud to be a Committee Member of Harm Reduction Coalition Aotearoa and knows this Coalition will have an important role in advocating for drug policy reform in Aotearoa.
