OxyContin maker Purdue Pharma and its owners, members of the bazillionaire Sackler family, have exploited the bankruptcy system to evade lawsuits from victims of the opioid crisis they are in large part responsible for.

That’s infuriating.

But we can’t let it be the end of the story.

The Biden administration has the power to investigate and prosecute to the full extent of the law any member of the Sackler family who committed any crimes in their myopic drive for opioid riches.

Tell Biden administration officials:

Purdue Pharma and members of the Sackler family may have exploited bankruptcy protections to dodge lawsuits from victims of the opioid crisis. But they can, and must, be held criminally accountable if they broke any laws in their insatiable pursuit of profits.

Add your name.

Thanks for taking action.

For justice,

- Robert Weissman, President of Public Citizen
