We provide education for medical providers. Our program, See me, Hear me, Treat me utilizes people impacted by addiction as panelists to educate providers. Here are the outstanding evals from a recent training. So exciting to see these "I will" statements from #Doctors & #nurses! – at New York, USA
See you at the National Opioid Settlement Conference in Denver! I'll be speaking with other colleagues about the importance of getting funding to grassroots, community based organizations.
So far only 3.5% of NYS funds have gone to grassroots orgs. @NYSOASAS needs to work on it
Check out CNN's video about the Sackler Cartel, Purdue Pharma and the ways families are cut out of opioid settlement funds. It’s time to correct this issue @NewYorkStateAG #TikTok tiktok.com/t/ZTkp7Rc12/
What an EPIC day! The judge postponed the hearing one week and said they are opening the court to allow the victims to speak in court! We did that!! What a day!!

I talked to Alexis Pleus, founder of advocacy group Truth Pharm, outside the DNC. Her son died of a heroin overdose 10 years ago.

As Kamala Harris and Donald Trump traded barbs Tuesday, the running gag of politics is that no matter what party is in office, the reality for those most in need doesn't change much, writes @NotesFromHeL inquirer.com/opinion/trump-h…

Grassroots groups nationwide fight for opioid settlement money, as the SHOULD. We're no longer standing by while our blood money continues to be wasted, spent inappropriately and NOT funding OUR work!

We had great success pushing back against this Big Pharma money grab and Broome Sheriff's desire to make people with SUD suffer by involving the @NewYorkStateAG! She issued a cease and desist letter over OpVee usage! Big win for people struggling with OUD wbng.com/2024/07/17/broome-c…
I had a great time with @earl_show for a one hour interview on the state of the overdose crisis, Big Pharma and the opioid settlement funds. civicmedia.us/shows/earl-ing…
Supreme Court blocks controversial Purdue Pharma opioid settlement - The Washington Post
JUSTICE!!!
And that's US in that picture fighting for justice!! WE DID IT!!! washingtonpost.com/politics/…
Huge huge props to our allies and comrades in this fight for justice!! Ed Bisch who has been fighting for justice for over 20 years! Ellen Isaacs brave and brilliant soul who made this possible and @sacklerpain who were the champions of elevating this with the press!!
I'm grateful this is coming out just in time for my son's heavenly birthday.
Lack of transparency still clouds billions in opioid settlement money going to states. We must all come together and demand accountability for every dollar. thenationaldesk.com/news/spo…
I’m at a Public Health Conference and learned that @BroomeSheriff is breaking state law by dispensing OPVEE to reverse overdoses. He’s also requiring officers to practice medicine with a medical degree or license. Will @TishJames let our Sheriff know he’s not above the law?
