On August 21st (Thursday) at noon Eastern Time, the 2025 National Fentanyl Prevention and Awareness Day event will be held in Times Square, New York. The event is organized by the Fentanyl Prevention Advocacy Group, “Facing Fentanyl,” along with affected families and other organizations participating. New Tang Dynasty and Epoch Times will be live streaming the event with real-time translation subtitles.
This day is dedicated to raising awareness about the dangers of fentanyl, a potent synthetic opioid that has been responsible for a significant number of overdose deaths in the United States. It aims to educate the public about the risks associated with fentanyl use and to promote prevention measures to combat the opioid crisis.
The event will feature speeches from experts in the field, testimonials from individuals affected by fentanyl addiction, and information about resources available for those struggling with substance abuse. There will also be interactive activities, displays, and opportunities for attendees to learn more about the impact of fentanyl on communities across the country.
Fentanyl has been a growing concern in recent years, with its potency and availability making it a major driver of the opioid epidemic. Its presence in street drugs such as heroin and cocaine has led to a sharp increase in overdoses and deaths, particularly among young people and vulnerable populations.
By hosting events like the National Fentanyl Prevention and Awareness Day, advocates hope to shine a light on the devastating impact of fentanyl and mobilize communities to take action against this crisis. Through education, support, and advocacy, they aim to reduce the stigma associated with addiction and provide resources for prevention and treatment.
