In working toward change, APALD held its 1st annual Nationwide Rally on June 4, 2021 to raise awareness and help save lives.

The rally involved over 40 likeminded organizations, Facebook and online groups. As a result, reaching thousands of those suffering from the loss of a loved one due to this crisis in America.

It is APALD's hope that we can help the general public, our government, lawmakers and law enforcement to understand the extent of the issue.

More importantly, it is our hope that parents and families across the nation are made aware that the Fentanyl and other synthetics that kill over 295 per day in our nation, is not isolated to those suffering Substance Use Disorder, but every child who may try a recreational/street drug such as cocaine, Percocet, Norco and any other related substance.
