On this edition of Century: Moms Against the Drug War. The
organizations Broken No More and Vital Strategies hosted a news
conference recently to commemorate Mother\'s Day at which bereaved
moms, who\'ve been negatively affected by the drug war, called for
health-based solutions to prevent overdose and an end to the
criminalization of people who use drugs. We hear some of the speakers
at that event including Dr. Tamara Olt, Executive Director of Broken
No More; Kimberly Douglas, founder of Bryce\'s Treehouse, and also
founder of Black Moms Against Overdose; Gretchen Bergman, Co-Founder
and Executive Director of A New PATH, Parents for Addiction Treatment
and Healing; advocate Tami Decker; and Joelle Fairchild, harm
reduction advocate and board member of the Harm Reduction Action
Center in Denver, CO.
