Tulsi has cosponsored legislation like the STOP OD Act to help state and local governments raise awareness of the dangers of opioids like fentanyl, oxycodone and heroin, expand educational efforts to prevent opiate abuse and promote treatment and prevention.
She also voted to pass a series of bipartisan measures in the 114th Congress to address some of the widespread problems that have caused and perpetuated the national opioid crisis, including the Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Act of 2016 signed into law in July 2016, and has continued to call for drug companies perpetuating the crisis to be held accountable.
Let’s support Tulsi to fight against these pharmaceutical companies that are ruining people’s lives just for the sake of earning profits.
