Dear Friend,
In May 2025, a coalition of courageous parents—who have either lost children to overdose or are fighting to keep theirs alive—marched into the halls of Congress. Determined to spare other families from the grief and pain they experience, through tears and resilience, their demands were clear: invest in health, treatment and overdose prevention now.
Hear their powerful stories and support the movement for health-based solutions to overdose and addiction.

These parents are part of a growing movement of families who are fighting to save lives by demanding that our elected leaders prioritize health, not punishment.
Right now, federal funding cuts are attacking the health solutions families are advocating for. It is more important than ever that we watch and share their powerful words, as we continue advocating for investment in health, treatment and overdose prevention.
