Popular Democracy, its affiliates, and allies are building people power across the country to shift opioid settlement funds away from policing and prisons and towards harm reduction, housing, and treatment. As over $58 Billion flows to states to repair the harms of the overdose crisis, we’re taking action to keep our communities safe. Join us to learn how funding works in your state and how you can help win investments in the care our people need.
