“On this International Overdose Awareness Day, we remember the lives lost and families impacted at the hands of a drug poisoning or overdose death.  These losses are the result of the ruthless criminal networks who flood our country with their dangerous and deadly poison. Today, and every day, we stand in support and with deep appreciation of our partners in public health and law enforcement who serve on the front lines every day working to prevent drug poisonings. We remain committed to our role in this fight to save lives by stopping fentanyl and other deadly drugs from impacting communities across America.”
