One BIG family, driven by hope.
This International Overdose Awareness Day, we come together as one big family to take action on overdose. We will gather for a powerful, community-led event filled with stories, art, and moments of connection.
The day will feature inspiring speakers, a memorial space, poetry, art installations, cultural healing, and naloxone education. This is a free event, open to all. Everyone is welcome — whether to participate, reflect quietly, or simply stand alongside others in solidarity. We will hold space for those we’ve lost, celebrate the strength of those still here, and renew our commitment to saving lives.
