teamsharinginc.org/overdose-aware… Let’s continue our work in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts by proudly supporting Overdose Awareness and to one day end the stigma attached to it! Apply here! We only need 350 more applications to reach our goal!!
The #NOPAINAct has passed! This is a significant step forward in our country's efforts to combat the opioid addiction crisis. I'm proud to have raised my voice alongside so many others in the fight to prevent addiction before it starts. We must ensure this is implemented ASAP.
@FEDUpRally We could really use your help in Tennessee. Your Governor @BillLeeTN is refusing to lower the flag on August 31st Overdose Awareness Day for the thousands of lives lost from addiction in his state, while states around this country are writing bills! Shame on him!
Tell you state officials to write the bill declaring August 31st Overdose Awareness Day and to lower their flags to half staff. This is the least they can do for all those lives lost from addiction. THEIR LIVES MATTERED TOO!!
I struggled with whether to post this or not, and I realize that my hesitance was coated in internalized stigma & not wanting others to think less of me & my family (I know you might). However, my silence on this matter only perpetuates stigma;
This is my sister, Caroline. She struggled with addiction for much of her life and despite her own, my family’s, and her friends’ greatest efforts, she lost the fight a few weeks ago. She helped many people get sober & saved several lives before her passing. We hold on to that.
ICYMI: The White House released a Rural Community Toolbox to make resources for substance use disorder and the opioid crisis more accessible. Find the toolbox here: ruralcommunitytoolbox.org

Lots of hugs around our office—the state court denied the Sacklers’ motion to dismiss our lawsuit! This decision confirms that Purdue & the Sacklers are accountable to the people of MA. We need to know the truth about their role in the opioid epidemic & families deserve justice.

When I sued the Sacklers, I was thinking of communities like Greenfield. When I rejected Purdue’s settlement, I was driven by conversations like the ones I have with @OpioidTaskForce. They deserve real accountability, justice, and the resources they need to prevent addiction.
