Yesterday evening, our community gathered at the University of Miami to honor the lives lost to overdose and stand in support of their families and loved ones.
Proclamations recognizing Overdose Awareness Month were presented alongside officials from Miami-Dade County and the City of Coral Gables, reaffirming our shared commitment to raising awareness, supporting those affected, and remembering those we have lost.
A special thanks to the University of Miami Sandler Center, Student Health Service, URecovery and Allies, and No More Dead Homies for creating a space for remembrance, compassion, education, and action.
The event, featuring name readings and candle lighting, showcased that each overdose victim was a loved individual.
The proclamation commits to remembering the lost, supporting recovery, aiding families, and ensuring access to lifesaving resources, treatment, and compassion.
