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.

We set up a Narcan Fund to ensure first responders can afford these life-saving measures. My office has provided nearly $1 million to the fund to date.

With our partners in law enforcement, we’re going after the traffickers and cartels. We formed a Fentanyl Strike Force to expand our drug enforcement work. We won a $3 million federal grant to expand our enforcement.
