The forgotten ghosts of the overdose crisis “We led the state in GoFundMe funerals.” Thanks Joe Solomon, fierce advocate. matternews.org/community/the-…
Tomorrow, I get to nerd out about opioid settlement data with @edmahonreporter, @emilykbader & @AshtonMarra. Join us at 9am to learn how to track billions of dollars in your states and hold elected officials accountable - trust me, it's needed! #NICAR24
Long story with a positive ending. Shows the continued discrimination against people who use medications to treat their substance use disorder. W/quotes from @LAC_SFriedman & Dr Steven Loyd. nbcnews.com/news/us-news/t… via @NBCNews
Harm reduction mutual aid projects have the same few hundred people venmoing each other $20 to scrape up Naloxone while our tax dollars are going to bomb people overseas. What the government funds and doesn’t fund has fatal consequences.
.@WVUFLU has held up a large picture of Raylee Browning, the 8 year old who died from abuse after her parents pulled her from public school to homeschool. “Raylee doesn’t have a lobbyist … all they have as a defense mechanism is us.”
Thanks for coming out. Huntington’s work to combat SUD is very impressive, the community so kind—but still, there’s so much more to do.

Not a word about MAT. Or harm reduction. It’s like they’ve already given up on the 7 million addicted Americans. Need to do more than only push naloxone and “can’t arrest our way out” soundbytes. Nothing new in VA First Lady’s “new fight against fentanyl.” rb.gy/g2jkey

Gentry Locke was a proud sponsor of Roanoke College’s Turk Pre-Law lecture series last week. Bestselling author Beth Macy spoke about America’s opioid addiction crisis and its impact locally and across the nation. #BethMacy #CommunityEvents #GentryLocke
My mom passed peacefully today. She was diagnosed 14 months ago with stage 4 metastatic pancreatic cancer. She fought so hard. I’ll miss her so much. She was an angel. 💔
Talking about Kate Middleton is a means of talking about a great many things. It's fine. But 4 of the 10 op-eds featured on NYT right now are about Kate Middleton. That, I think, indicates not just talking about all sorts of things but avoiding talking about all sorts of things.

My “why.” KB is 18mos abstinent from IV opiate use. People change when it makes sense to & they are ready. #harmreduction & #naloxone saved her life 13 times. Being her Mama is my greatest joy💚(shared w/KBs permission)
