 Hi everyone, I'm Ed Baker and I'm your host on the Addiction Recovery Channel. I'm here to call your attention to an important gathering on the State House lawn in Montpelier on Wednesday, August 31st from 5 to 7 p.m. August 31st is International Overdose Awareness Day. It's a day for us to come together in mindful solidarity with each other in honor of our loved ones lost to drug overdose. In Vermont, we lost 215 neighbors in 2021. This gathering is an opportunity for us to come together and show our support for the families who have lost loved ones to listen to them, to be there for them. It's also our chance to be heard and seen by our elected decision makers here in Vermont. While we are surely doing much here to protect people at risk for drug overdose, the truth of the matter is we can and we should be doing more. Come and advocate with us for expanded harm reduction services and overdose prevention sites in Vermont. Let's save lives. This rally is being jointly organized by the Vermont Overdose Prevention Network and Team Sharing Vermont. So remember, Wednesday, August 31st in Montpelier at the State House lawn from 5 to 7 p.m. Let's save lives. Thank you.
