About this Event
Hey Bob! We Need Your Help
On Thursday, October 8, Battlefield Addiction is bringing families, community members, mayors, state legislators and other elected officials together for an important community conversation.
This is not about political party. It is not about attacking our Governor. We are asking for his help and want to bring local leaders together around solutions to the fentanyl and addiction crisis affecting our communities.
We believe:
- Our parks, business owners, and citizens should no longer be subjected to open-air drug use, theft, and drug dealing.
- Babies and children should be protected from fentanyl in their homes.
- Government agencies should stop promoting drug use by handing out foil and other paraphernalia used to smoke fentanyl.
- Drug addicts should be held accountable for possession and theft while receiving help through strong diversion programs.
- Fentanyl dealers should be arrested, and stronger penalties should be imposed.
We need action. We need enforcement. We need solutions.
