.@ActionForOD attended the @BloombergDotOrg American Health Summit, where @city_libbin presented on how research, communications and coalition-building come together to drive meaningful policy change. #BloombergSummit #EndOverdose
Thank you @carmenpaun for chatting with us about election rhetoric and the need to maintain momentum in efforts to #endoverdose! Everyone’s tough on drugs again politi.co/3Ym2ThJ via @politico
Many thanks to @FACESandVOICES for having us on your podcast! We're grateful for the chance to discuss our efforts to improve access to #MOUD and other ways to #endoverdose in the U.S.

News: Fewer than half of U.S. jails provide life-saving medications for opioid use disorder nih.gov/news-events/ne…
Happening now: the Third Annual Congressional Naloxone Training! We’re honored to host this event in collaboration with @bmhsudtf and the Addiction, Treatment and Recovery Caucus. We’re also grateful to students from @GUMedicine for facilitating the training. #endoverdose
We're excited to participate in @samhsagov's #WalkForRecovery! We joined with other advocates to observe National #RecoveryMonth and show our support for federal policies that promote recovery and help to #endoverdose.
Today is International Overdose Awareness Day, and we're pausing to remember those lost to overdose. We're also reflecting on why we advocate — because every overdose is preventable, and the U.S. needs federal policies that help #endoverdose. #iOAD2024
More than 100,000 Americans die from an overdose each year. Each death was preventable, and every person lost to the overdose crisis leaves behind a grieving family and community. This #iOAD2024, we're advocating for federal policies that can save lives and help #endoverdose.
In 2022, over 25,000 people died from an overdose upon release from incarceration. The #SUPPORTAct, the #ReentryAct, and Due Process Continuity of Care Act would grant flexibility for Medicaid-eligible individuals to receive addiction treatment that can save their lives.
Thank you to the Congressional Black Caucus for highlighting the overdose crisis's profound and often underreported impact on Black communities in Broadsheet Magazine this month. Your dedication to addressing these challenges is commendable and crucial. drive.google.com/file/d/1hDGF6j…
New Editorial on the Fentanyl Crisis by @NIDAnews Dr. Nora Volkow! Greater access to methadone is essential to addressing the devastating impact of fentanyl & evidence suggests providing methadone outside of OTPs can lead to good outcomes >> ow.ly/kCmv50SKuBX
📊 In 2022, only 25 percent of U.S. adults needing #OUD treatment received medications, per a new @CDCgov report. We need accessible treatment for everyone. It's time to close the healthcare gap once and for all. #HealthcareAccess cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/7…
The @CMSGov approved waivers in IL, KY, OR, UT and VT for seamless healthcare coverage post-release from carceral facilities. Congress must pass the #ReentryAct so all states can provide treatment in jails/prisons! cms.gov/newsroom/press…
Shout out to our advocates! Our team led workshops last month—with @FACESandVOICES and @BloombergDotOrg—equipping advocates of all levels with strategies to influence policy to #endoverdose. We're excited about the important work ahead, and to continue alongside our partners.
In a new op-ed in @dailyyonder, our program director @city_libbin shares her thoughts on rural healthcare and the disproportionate impact of the overdose crisis in rural areas, as well as the actions needed to curb overdose deaths among rural Americans. dailyyonder.com/commentary-we-…
Thank you to Senators Scott and Markey for recognizing today as #NationalNaloxoneAwarenessDay. We applaud Congress’s continued commitment to increasing awareness about this lifesaving medication and we encourage further policies to ensure Naloxone is accessible to all Americans.
ICYMI: We held a congressional briefing on the #overdose crisis's impact on Black Americans. The conversation continues with a series of upcoming blog posts featuring expert discussions on root causes and solutions to save lives: bit.ly/4c7FA0G
"Enacting these laws and policies will require a groundswell of support from both the public and lawmakers, but that won’t happen if Americans are unaware of the overdose crisis’s disproportionate impact on Black communities." Read Dr. Jerome Adams' full op-ed here:

Our President and CEO, Yolonda Richardson, wrote a letter to the editor in @nytimes about how recent headlines concerning a decrease in #overdose deaths aren't telling the full story. Read the full letter here: nytimes.com/2024/06/01/opi…
