Today is International HR Day.

‼️LITTLE ROCK FRIENDS ‼️
keep an eye out for our Naloxone mural under the 7th street bridge provided by @dedicated_visual_art_studio !! We’re so stoked on how this turned out! 🔥

We want to thank everyone who came out to our first ever fundraiser last night to celebrate this day, build community, learn about our work, and honor the lives that our community has lost to the war on drugs.

Thank you to all of the mutual aid vendors for showing up and equipping the community with such valuable knowledge and resources. Shout out Brittany and Chris from @northwestarkansasharmreduction for giving an incredible speech and naloxone demo!! And to @baddiiboop for helping everyone register to vote and bringing awareness to why it’s so important!

Thank you AIDS United for Sponsoring this event through their We Are United Campaign.

Thank you to the bands, Emily Fenton, Peach Blush, and Buckshot Princess for an incredible show! And to White Water Tavern for having us.

And thank you to the community for showing up, taking PULSE photos, hanging out, and having fun with us. We could not have asked for a better night. We are so blown away!

Our work is rooted in one simple belief: every life has value. People deserve care, dignity, safety, and compassion exactly as they are. Last night was an indicator that our community refuses to give up on each other.
From everyone at PULSE, thank you. 🫶🏼 by @pulse.initiative

We have so much love for our local community 👏

Some of us at PULSE attended the Olive Hour charity event benefiting Special Olympics Arkansas last night! 💪

We believe building a stronger community can look like a lot of things. This includes supporting other organizations making a difference across Arkansas and helping to support some amazing local athletes.🥇

We met some new folks who support what we’re doing and look forward to supporting each other’s mutual community impact. 🤝

We’re not just here to build a network. We’re here to build community. 💜

Cheers to a great evening and an even greater cause… now I gotta get back to organizing my pile of auction item winnings! 🫒🍸 taken in Little Rock, Arkansas by @pulse.initiative

Back in January, our Finger on the PULSE column featured a video on the final Bite show! 🎥

Little did we know at the time… Kodie, the vocalist of Bite, would end up being our PULSE Hot Springs chapter president. 👆😳

If you aren’t familiar with what Kodie was up to this time last year, check it out! 👀

And listen to BITE 🫦‼️

Huge shoutout to my dawg Josh with the team at @little.rock.recovery ! PULSE hooked him up with supplies including RiVive to do his real deal street outreach and peer work. Another example making a difference in your community! Its an honor to be able to work alongside him serving all of our most vulnerable neighbors that have been failed by the system time & time again.

People like Josh are a constant reminder that it’s not just about meeting people where they’re at, but bringing them up with you, so we can grow together. We love to see it! taken in Little Rock, Arkansas by @pulse.initiative

It’s always great seeing @krbrewer790! He is constantly putting in work to make a positive impact in our community. PULSE was very happy to keep him supplied with RiVive for a couple of engagement events & trainings he has in the coming days! We love to see the hard work of a true champion of health equity in the state of Arkansas! 💪
