This International Overdose Awareness Day gathering will bring our community together for an evening of remembrance, healing, and connection. We will honor the lives of those lost to overdose while creating space for families, friends, and community members to come together in solidarity and support. The event will feature a memorial wall and reflection space where attendees can remember loved ones, as well as access to harm reduction supplies, overdose prevention education, and information from local service providers and community organizations. Through music, food, and shared community space, we hope to foster compassion, reduce stigma, and remind those impacted by substance use that they are not alone. All who have been touched by substance use, loss, recovery, or advocacy are welcome to join us in remembrance and hope.
