Drug poisoning deaths are killing Americans at a catastrophic and unprecedented rate. Last year, 110,757 lives were lost to a drug poisoning, with fentanyl and methamphetamine driving this record increase.

Fentanyl and methamphetamine are more accessible and more widely available than ever before; anyone with a smart phone is a target of the drug cartels.

DEA will stop at nothing to defeat the drug trafficking organizations flooding America with these poisons, the Sinaloa and Jalisco (CJNG) cartels. We also know that we must all work together to save lives and stop fentanyl. This crisis will take all of us working together to solve.

This two-day event aims to create a dialogue to effect change through enforcement, awareness, and prevention education.

We know that there are many more families and parent organizations impacted by the overdose epidemic who won’t be represented at the summit this year, but we want to connect with you. Please consider registering with DEA to join us as advocates for change.
