to overdose and signs and participate! We will meet a few steps from the Chinese theater and the walk of fame stars of Michael Jackson and The Doors. We will be staging a "Die In" to bring awareness to those lost through accidental overdose. At exactly 1pm
The LA chapter of A New PATH (Parents for Addiction Treatment and Healing), the Drug Policy Alliance as well as members of other local advocacy groups will "Die" and remain “dead” on the ground for a number of minutes while the names of those lost are read...
WE DEMAND: Greater access to Naloxone for overdose prevention That ‘Good Samaritan” overdose legislation be passed at state and federal levels! That overdose victims be treated with dignity and humanity. That stigma be eliminated by treating drug overdoses
