The opioid crisis has devastated communities in Massachusetts and across the country. On #InternationalOverdoseAwarenessDay, our office remains deeply committed to combatting this epidemic on all fronts.
We sued Purdue Pharma and the Sacklers for their role in creating and profiting off the opioid epidemic. We owe it to families in Massachusetts and across the country to hold them accountable.
With #ProjectHere, we were the first Attorney General's office to create a statewide prevention education effort now available to every middle school.

Prevention education is a huge unmet need in our schools.
Our state requires schools to provide substance use education, but hasn't given them the resources.
So back in 2017 we started using settlement money to fund prevention in school districts across MA. #ProjectHere

Then we teamed up with the GE Foundation, the @HerrenProject, @HRiAction, and others to expand our prevention programming. Today we're in nearly 300 middle schools with #ProjectHere reaching thousands of young students.
Nothing is more important than making sure young people know the risks of substance use and understand how to make healthy choices and stay safe. It's why we started the #ProjectHere prevention program and made it free for every public middle school in MA.
Today we were at @Attleboro_CMS to hear from students about the challenges they face, including vaping, stress, anxiety, and more. By listening to young people and the adults who care for them we better understand what issues demand our attention. #Attleboro

Our best strategy to fight the opioid crisis is to stop addiction before it starts. But prevention education is an enormous unmet need in Massachusetts schools. We're changing that. #ProjectHere

52 AGs from all across the United States are asking Congress to help combat the opioid epidemic and close the federal fentanyl loophole.
Drug traffickers make small changes to the chemical makeup of fentanyl that allow them to evade federal law.
All fentanyl by-products should be illegal the moment they're manufactured. The drug is more powerful than heroin and responsible for thousands of overdose deaths in Massachusetts.
