1. Fund overdose prevention and other addiction efforts

Advocacy Megaphone v1 1080x1080 2 ([link removed] )

While overdose deaths have decreased in recent years, tens of thousands of people still die from overdoses each year, and millions more have substance use disorders and are at risk for overdose and other harms. 

 

In order to continue this progress and prevent a backslide, continued federal funding is needed for the agencies and programs that provide effective prevention and treatment services.

 

Congress is currently working on a budget for fiscal year 2026, with a deadline of January 30. The House of Representatives passed a version yesterday that would maintain or increase funding for many of the agencies and programs that provide support for addiction research and programs. Now, the bill needs to pass in the Senate and be signed by the President.

Given the recent threats to federal funding for substance use services, ensuring the final budget includes this funding is particularly important. 

Send a letter to your senators urging them to ensure that the final budget bill includes full funding for these agencies and programs to continue critical efforts to prevent overdoses and address the addiction crisis.
