As Kamala Harris and Donald Trump traded barbs Tuesday, the running gag of politics is that no matter what party is in office, the reality for those most in need doesn't change much, writes @NotesFromHeL

Grassroots groups nationwide fight for opioid settlement money, as the SHOULD. We're no longer standing by while our blood money continues to be wasted, spent inappropriately and NOT funding OUR work!
thenationaldesk.com
It’s now estimated more than $55 billion dollars in opioid settlement money will go to states around the country to help battle the opioid epidemic.

We had great success pushing back against this Big Pharma money grab and Broome Sheriff's desire to make people with SUD suffer by involving the @NewYorkStateAG! She issued a cease and desist letter over OpVee usage! Big win for people struggling with OUD

The office has suspended its OpVee program but still argues for its administration.

We stand in solidarity w fellow Americans & advocates like @homeless_law who are outraged by today’s ruling. Like criminalizing people who use drugs (PWUD), criminalizing people for sleeping in public will fail because it doesn’t address root causes of why people are homeless.

Supreme Court blocks controversial Purdue Pharma opioid settlement - The Washington Post JUSTICE!!! And that's US in that picture fighting for justice!! WE DID IT!!!

When addiction medicine doctors started to come after safe supply, we said that what they’re doing is going to cause greater harm. And then the attacks on harm reduction began to grow. And with those attacks the right grew more interest in what we were doing to save lives.

I'm grateful this is coming out just in time for my son's heavenly birthday. Lack of transparency still clouds billions in opioid settlement money going to states. We must all come together and demand accountability for every dollar.

Transparency concerns continue over how billions of dollars in opioid settlement money are being spent in many states across the country.

I’m at a Public Health Conference and learned that @BroomeSheriff is breaking state law by dispensing OPVEE to reverse overdoses. He’s also requiring officers to practice medicine with a medical degree or license. Will @TishJames let our Sheriff know he’s not above the law?

At the NYS Public Health Officials Conference a speaker mentioned “a horrible Upstate NY Sheriff” who decided to start using OPVEE to reverse overdoses. We were like, “that’s our sheriff!” @fredakshar! See our response to his decision here:

Is highly unusual to see consultants making recommendations like, "engage people with loved experience!" Yes! With authenticity. Way to be @PaulLeoFahey!

This is what a lack of funding looks like. As NY lawmakers make final deals on the budget will addiction, substance use treatment and harm reduction be properly funded, or will they add more deaths to their toll?
