CALL TO ACTION: Tell Your Senators to Fight the
Opioid Epidemic through Community Schools
On August 22, Senators Sherrod Brown (D-OH) and Van Hollen (D-MD) introduced the
Full-Service Community Schools in Distressed Communities Act of 2018 (S. 3362).
This bill would invest $45 million to support communities to come together to create a plan to address the opioid crisis and other forms of substance abuse, and to implement full-service community schools as an effective strategy to prevent and address substance abuse among students and/or family members.
We need YOUR help! Call your Senators this month at 202-224-3121 and ask them to co-sponsor this bill to help children and families struggling with this crisis.
Thank you in advance for your advocacy!
