First: I filed a lawsuit against Purdue Pharma to hold the company accountable for its role in fueling the opioid epidemic.
Then: Purdue filed for bankruptcy. This stopped Purdue’s illegal conduct — but it also shut down all legal actions against Purdue.
Now: I am one of 9 Attorneys General opposing a bankruptcy settlement that will allow the Sackler family, owners of Purdue Pharma, to walk away as billionaires with a lifetime legal shield — without so much as an apology to the families they devastated with their illegal conduct.
The Sackler family took $11 billion from Purdue. I cannot accept the terms of this settlement plan that allows them to remain one of America’s richest families. I want the court — and Washingtonians impacted by the devastation of the epidemic — to know that this plan is deeply unfair.
Add your name to show Washingtonians do not support this unjust deal:
Washington families suffered as a result of the Sacklers’ actions. At a minimum, the Sacklers should pay back the $11 billion they received from Purdue and issue an apology.
