On this edition of Century of Lies: Broken No More. International
Overdose Awareness Day was August 31. The organization Broken No More
held a news conference August 27 to lift up the voices of families
who\'ve lost loved ones to the toxic unregulated drug supply and to
drug overdose. We hear from some of the speakers including Tamara Olt,
MD, Executive Director of Broken No More; Kimberly Douglas, Founder of
Black Moms Against Overdose; and activist and drug policy reformer
Jessie Dunleavy. Plus, resistance to the militarization of domestic
policing and the ongoing federal assault on communities and working
people continues to grow. Organizers and activists gathered in
Washington DC on August 28 for a Labor Day Rally and March as part of
Solidarity Season. We\'ll hear portions of that event including
speeches by Samuel Epps, President of the Metropolitan Washington
Council of the AFL-CIO, and Ottis Johnson, Jr, National Vice President
of the Fourteenth District of the American Federation of Government
Employees.
