The Official August 21st – National Fentanyl Prevention and Awareness Day
Times Square, New York City
This isn’t just another day.
And this isn’t just another gathering.
On August 21st, families from every corner of the country — moms, dads, siblings, friends — will stand shoulder to shoulder in the middle of Times Square. We’ll bring photos of the people we’ve lost. We’ll say their names. We’ll share their stories. And we’ll remind the world that these were real lives… not statistics.
Fentanyl is stealing loved ones in silence. It’s taking too many, too fast, and without warning. One pill — that’s all it takes. No second chances. No goodbyes.
This day is about truth and connection. It’s about turning grief into action. It’s about showing the world that behind every name is a face, a family, a future that should have been.
So we’re asking: Come stand with us.
Come for your child.
Come for your students.
Come because you’ve lost someone.
Or come simply because you haven’t — and want to make sure you never have to.
Bring your heart. Bring your love. Bring your voice.
Let’s turn Times Square into something the world can’t ignore.
Because when families come together, we become impossible to silence.

August 21st, 11:30 a.m.
To remember. To protect. To speak up.
I hope to see as many friends, Advocates and fellow warriors as possible!!!!
