Fentanyl Crisis
Fentanyl is fueling a deadly crisis across our communities. This synthetic opioid is up to 100 times stronger than morphine, and just a few grains can kill. Dealers often mix it into pills and powders without warning, making every use a life-or-death risk. Overdoses are rising at alarming rates, tearing families apart and devastating neighborhoods. Awareness and prevention are critical — knowing the signs, spreading the word, and protecting our loved ones can save lives.
