FDA Approves Narcan for Over the Counter, F Fentanyl responds |
|
Thomas Guerra, founder and CEO of F Fentanyl Inc, recently took time to do an interview with NBC 6. The topic of discussion centered around the game-changing announcement that Narcan, a life-saving medication used to reverse opioid overdoses, would now be available over the counter. Guerra's passionate voice resonated as he highlighted the immense significance of this development. He emphasized that easy access to Narcan empowers individuals and communities to take immediate action during critical moments, potentially saving countless lives. The NBC 6 interview served as a platform to raise awareness and inspire action. Thomas also mentioned that he worries that cost may become a barrier and that funding to provide Narcan free of cost to individuals may be affected. (Not included in aired interview). |

Street Outreach is Extending to Miami Beach with Decrim305 and Yaya por Vida |
|
Why Miami Beach as our third city to serve next? This is Jonni’s ( Decrim305) community and what used to be YaYa’s community too. Their is a veil of glamour, fun, and beach that covers the poverty, inequitable access to care, and chaotic, unsafe drug use here. As the summer begins, the parties are prominent, the weather is more harsh for our people on the streets and the help is still not there. Starting with a party street team monthly will allow us to be boots on the ground like we have and always will be interacting with the community and all walks of life. Whether you are out in SOBE having a great time or need to get out of the situation you are in we are here with no judgement - all love. Come volunteer with us on 05/05 for our harm reduction prep party and 05/06 for our first party street team outreach in SOBE . Miami Beach Outreach 5/6 12pm-3pm Overtown Outreach 5/20 12pm-3pm |
