Ending the Overdose Crisis

Fighting for our loved ones to live long, fulfilling lives

No matter where we come from or what we look like, we all want our friends and family to live long, fulfilling lives. Right now, certain politicians, pharmaceutical corporations, and private prisons are fueling a failed drug war and an overdose crisis that is killing our loved ones and locking people up for using drugs instead of offering treatment.

This crisis harms us all and has ripple effects throughout our communities. By joining together, we can hold politicians and corporations accountable, and win policies to stop preventable overdose deaths.

OUR CAMPAIGNS

Across Vermont, New Hampshire, and nationally, we are fighting to win people-centered, evidence-based solutions for our loved ones and communities struggling with Substance Use Disorder, including:

  • Expanding access to harm reduction measures such as sterile syringes, Narcan and fentanyl test strips
  • Expanding healthcare services, including sustained recovery and increased access to Medication Assisted Treatment and dual diagnosis support
  • Studying and implementing Overdose Prevention Sites
  • Removing criminal penalties
