Fentanyl Homicide. Make Dealers Pay.
Every state that won’t treat a fentanyl death as a homicide is a state where dealers kill with legal impunity. It’s time to close that gap.
We jail a bartender who overserves a customer who then kills someone on the road. We should jail a dealer who knowingly hands a lethal dose to someone’s child.
This isn’t a drug policy debate.
It’s a homicide policy debate.
Fentanyl kills faster than almost any other substance in modern history. A pill crushed into a line. A capsule slipped into a night out. Someone’s son. Someone’s daughter.
The people who supply these doses know exactly what they’re moving. And in too many states, when a young person dies from that dose, the dealer faces a drug charge — not a homicide charge.
MAPDA Action is an organization of fighting mom determined to make civic, business, and government leaders confront the gravity of this crisis.
By 2028, our nation’s leaders will know MAPDA Action.
Moms won’t stand by while a fentanyl death is
treated as anything less than a homicide.
And every mother in America who loses a child to a poisoned pill knows exactly where to turn to make the dealer pay.
