Opioid Settlement $
Opioid settlement money and a call to action
130 organizations representing advocates and experts from public health, overdose prevention, and drug policy across the nation released a roadmap on how states should spend $50 billion in opioid settlement funds (as reported on recently by NPR, see above).
There is an emphasis on harm reduction and housing first strategies, as well as decriminalization and addressing the negative impacts of the War on Drugs.
