🏳️🌈 It’s Pride Month — and the fight to end overdoses is personal 🏳️🌈
John,
Here’s the good news: Overdose deaths fell by nearly 25% in the U.S. last
year — from 114,000 in 2023 to 87,000 in 2024. That’s tens of thousands of
lives saved.
Now here’s the bad news: 87,000 people still died. That’s 87,000 too many.
And now the Trump administration wants to gut one of the key resources
keeping that number from skyrocketing.
At the heart of this fight is Naloxone (Narcan), a life-saving medication
that can reverse an opioid overdose in minutes. It’s widely available and
has become a vital tool for first responders across the country.

A $56 million federal grant from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health
Services Administration (SAMHSA) made this possible, helping fire and
police departments train over 66,000 emergency responders and distribute
more than 282,000 naloxone kits in 2024 alone.
But Trump’s budget slashes $40 billion from the Department of Health and
Human Services — and on the chopping block is that $56 million grant. In
his eyes, that’s “waste.” In reality, it’s a death sentence.
🪭🏳️🌈
Across the country, LGBTQ+ communities are facing a silent epidemic of
accidental fentanyl overdoses. In cities across the country, queer and
trans people have overdosed after unintentionally consuming fentanyl-laced
substances. In New York, two gay men — John Umberger and Julio Ramirez —
died after being drugged with fentanyl-tainted drugs at nightclubs. These
were not isolated events.
And in response, our communities stepped up. Drag performers and
grassroots activists are teaching harm reduction from behind the mic and
under the stage lights. They’re saving lives.
One of them is Kochina Rude — and she’s here to show you how.
