While a student at the Miller School, Tookes pushed the Florida legislature to pass a bill allowing people who inject drugs to exchange used syringes for clean ones to slow the spread of HIV and other infectious diseases.
The IDEA Exchange – the state’s first needle exchange program – has been making an impact ever since.
