What National Survivors Union Inc does
Mission
National Survivors Union's mission is to end the racist war on drugs, the war on sex workers, the war on underground economies, and the war on poverty. We accomplish this through organizing and mobilizing, empowerment and skill-building, and holding increasingly professionalized harm reduction and public health spaces accountable to people who use drugs and trade sex. We hold the values of being led by impacted people through non-hierarchical organizing and collective leadership, a shared messaging of pride and love, meaningful engagement, and intersectional experiences. Our goals are to give people who use and sell drugs and people who trade sex the resources they need to not only survive but thrive through racist drug and anti-trafficking wars, nurturing fellow drug user and sex worker brilliance and achievement.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.
Program
This year, National Survivors Union instituted all-Black leadership of its general drug user call. Our methadone reform call, has been working on a Patient Bill of Rights project that has attracted new members to that call, further cementing our partnership with the National Coalition to Liberate Methadone. We participated in a research partnership with Boulder Care, a harm-reduction-focused telehealth buprenorphine company, on a Small Business Innovation Research grant with the National Institute of Drug Abuse. Our sex worker organizing team created an election information zine for drug user and sex worker populations, and is now at work creating a similar zine bringing information across the country on how we can resist hostile political environments. Our biweekly grantwriting call helped many affiliate groups write grants to fund themselves and taught a number of non-profit administration skills to attendees. Finally, we are bringing about 30 National Survivors Union members with us on our scholarships to the upcoming International Drug Policy Reform Conference in Detroit.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2022, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2022, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2024 to 2025, from $20k to $151k (+666%).
