Naloxone Initiative
Our Naloxone initiative is dedicated to combating the opioid crisis by increasing access to life-saving overdose reversal medication. Through education, distribution, and advocacy, we aim to empower communities to save lives and reduce harm.

Our Naloxone Initiative is a strategic, multi-state campaign designed to combat the opioid crisis by promoting awareness and accessibility of Naloxone, a medication that can reverse the effects of opioid overdoses and save lives. Operating across 22 states, this initiative is a collaborative effort with Project Clean Slate, a nonprofit dedicated to providing education and resources for harm reduction. Together, we aim to bridge the knowledge gap surrounding Naloxone by empowering communities with the tools and information they need to respond effectively to opioid-related emergencies.
Currently, our efforts are centered in Missouri, where we are working to pass a statewide proclamation to formally recognize the importance of Naloxone awareness. This initiative involves coordinated outreach, collaboration with local leaders, and advocacy to ensure the proclamation becomes a cornerstone of our broader harm reduction efforts. Missouri represents a critical starting point, but our vision is far-reaching; after solidifying progress there, we plan to expand our advocacy to additional states, building a nationwide network of support for Naloxone distribution and education. Pictured on the left is our Chairman, Neer Patel, alongside the Missouri Speaker of the House, following a successful discussion advancing Naloxone awareness efforts.
Our members have been key to driving this initiative forward, many of whom have passionately spoken at both state and national capitols, amplifying the urgency of this mission to policymakers and the public alike. These efforts underscore the importance of prioritizing harm reduction in legislative agendas while fostering community-driven solutions to the opioid epidemic. By combining advocacy, education, and direct action, our Naloxone Initiative aims not only to save lives but also to shift the narrative around opioid use and recovery toward one of compassion, responsibility, and equity.
