Dear Friends,
As April unfolds, we're focused on National Fentanyl Awareness Day (NFAD ) on
April 29, while also building on our March activities advancing our mi ssi on through
policy engagement in Washington D.C. and expanding our school-, community-
and state-centered programs. Here's a look at our recent work and how you can
help save young lives in the weeks ahead.
National Fentanyl Awareness Day
This year's NFAD campaign centers on closing a critical knowledge gap: nearly half of
American teens remain unaware that fake prescription pills often contain deadly
fentanyl. As our activation, we're launching our Real Talk About Fake Pills
educational program nationwide after several successful pilots, including reaching
more than 150,000 students in Los Angeles Unified School D i strict late last year.
Here are four ways you can take action this NFAD:
For Schools and Campuses: Screen Real Talk About Fake Pills in
classrooms or assemblies, with curriculum guide and di scussi on materials
included.
For Families: Watch our short video Counterfeit Pills: You Need to Know and
use our conversation starters with your teens.
For Companies and Communities: Host a screening of The New Drug Talk
to equip parents and caregivers to protect their families.
For Everyone: Learn to recognize overdose signs and respond with
naloxone—skills that save lives.
Visit fentanylawarenessday.org to access these free resources and help turn
knowledge into action.
Advancing Our Mission in D.C.

Last month, Ed visited Washington D.C. with our Director of Multi cultural Affai rs
Gina Malagold and SFC consultant Marcia Lee Taylor. We met wi th staff from fi ve
Senate offices to discuss fentanyl awareness education, poli cy and NFAD, and
held discussions with the DEA about our continuing collaboration.
Ed and Gina also participated in Georgetown University's Gri ef to Action event
hosted by Regina LaBelle, former acting director of the Whi te House Offi ce of
National Drug Control Policy. Alongside addiction recovery advocate Tom Farley
(brother of late comedian Chris Farley), we shared with 100 attendees how
personal grief can transform into meaningful action to prevent future tragedies.
Growing Our Reach in Oregon
