“The increase in overdose deaths and widening disparities are alarming,” said CDC Acting Principal Deputy Director Dr. Debra Houry, M.D., M.P.H. “Overdose deaths are preventable, and we must redouble our efforts to make overdose prevention a priority. We will continue to support and work collaboratively with communities like we do with CDC’s Overdose Data to Action (OD2A). Providing tailored tools and resources to combat overdose and address underlying risk factors will ultimately help reduce health disparities and save lives.”
USA/MILWAUKEE || Chairman Rickey (RP) Potts, BID 39, has been documenting and singing the song of the need for a spotlight on the "drug" trade, GOVERNMENT SURVEILLANCE, and use of drugs by the citizenry for many years.
Business Improvement District 39 serves constituents in the district of Alderman MICHAEL MURPHY, 10th District.
Murphy has repeatedly used funds brought/sent to Milwaukee to service Milwaukeeans. The city of Milwaukee's core constituents is African Americans and other People of Color.
Murphy has discriminated against African Americans and other People of Color since the inception of the Heroin/Opiates Initiative.
Heroin/Opiates Initiative
This includes the very first organizing meeting held in Milwaukee, only Caucasians were summoned - outside the city of Milwaukee.
Why is he deliberately DISCRIMINATING - avoiding African Americans? What's wrong with this guy?
It is NOT OK. We must see that we REPLACE Murphy come 2024.
International Overdose Awareness Day
Tomorrow, August 31, 2022, is International Overdose Awareness Day. The message is about the tragedy of drug overdose death and that drug overdose is preventable.
We can take this violation and turn our efforts into appropriateness by seeing that we connect law and order first and foremost.
The goals of International Overdose Awareness Day are:
- To provide an opportunity for people to publicly mourn
loved ones in a safe environment, some for the first time without feeling guilt or shame. - To include the greatest number of people in International Overdose Awareness Day events, and encourage non-denominational involvement.
- To give community members information about the issue of fatal and non-fatal overdose.
- To send a strong message to current and former people who use drugs that they are valued.
- To stimulate discussion about overdose prevention and drug policy.
- To provide basic information on the range of support services that are available.
- To prevent and reduce drug-related harm by supporting evidence-based policy and practice.
- To inform people around the world about the risk of overdose.
