I'm grateful this is coming out just in time for my son's heavenly birthday.
Lack of transparency still clouds billions in opioid settlement money going to states. We must all come together and demand accountability for every dollar.

1 person dies every 5 minutes in the U.S. from opioid overdose (OOD).
Access to Buprenorphine & Methadone can reduce OOD by up to 60%. In one study up to 80%
But treatment is inequitably distributed across the U.S.
Rural MOUD & methadone access disparities persist.
In 2023, 211 received a staggering 2,047,496 calls for help across NYS.
Your support is crucial - Include $2.4M in the NYS budget to ensure 211 can continue answering the call!
Have you ever met parents who have lost their child(ren) to overdose? They are warriors and won’t stop. These are the people pushing to hold the US government accountable in the opioid overdose crisis. If you think a little rain would stop them, think again!

Every single one of the 2,200 tombstones created for the @TrailofTruthNat was someone’s baby 💔
A child that will NEVER be present at family holidays and celebrations again. The tombstones I saw ranged in passing from age 14-66 🥺
America, we’re doing something wrong 🥺
It was an absolute privilege to be able to share with Dan Schneider from @netflix’s #thepharmacist how much his series helped me while I was still with my ex-boyfriend who suffered from SUD. I researched and learned about so many different treatments. Dan’s series gave me hope 🥹
Dr. Stephen Loyd was the real life doctor who Michael Keaton portrayed in @DopesickOnHulu. Watching that series and seeing his personal fight with OxyContin really showed how doctors thought they were doing good by prescribing Oxy was heartbreaking 💔
Also his flight was 1/2
Over the weekend, LICADD stood united with Families In Support of Treatment (FIST) and Gabriel’s Giving Tree (GGT) to memorialize those we’ve lost to overdose, raise awareness and advocate for change at the 2nd Annual @TrailofTruthNat in Washington, D.C. 💜

We have folks from THIRTY-EIGHT states registered to attend the National Trail of Truth in Washington DC on September 23rd for all substance use related deaths.
Will we see you there?

“We’ve been saying that this is a misuse of the bankruptcy court, and that the Sacklers have been using it as defense because they were the ones that put Purdue into bankruptcy,” says Mike Quinn, a New York lawyer who represents @sacklerpain 💥👏 https://t.co/HjNLD9eUmn
In a filing to the Supreme Court, solicitor general Elizabeth Prelogar argued that this release from liability would be "of exceptional and unprecedented breadth" and would constitute "an abuse of the bankruptcy system."

Need a new show? Watch #Painkiller on @netflix. The US Government, FDA and Sackler family are completely at fault for lives lost, families destroyed and increased crime.
When I was in Montréal, I asked if opioids were pushed in the same way #PurduePharma did,
1/2
One of our National partners, Jen Trejo tells us more about Christopher from #painkiller on @netflix. And the Trail of Truth National is mentioned.
Let's get thousands of us out in DC to call for an end of these deaths.

7 min listen -#PainKillerNetflix And then you realize, oh, wait, the person giving me this disclaimer is a relative of someone who lost their loved one to the opioid epidemic. Jen Trejo Barbara Van Rooyan ❤️🩹 https://t.co/rhFTAm9ITz
Despite Purdue's claim that OxyContin's extended release formula made it less addictive, it soon became clear that the statistics did not support that conclusion. #PainKillerNetflix#SacklerCartel https://t.co/jepaHFTweX
