"One Pill Can Kill" Campaign

Alaska is under attack – In 2023, opioids killed a record number of Alaskans. Drug overdose deaths, the vast majority of which were fentanyl related, increased by more than 40 percent according to preliminary data, indicating Alaska experienced the largest percent increase of any state between 2022 and 2023. Across America, fentanyl is now the leading cause of death for young adults aged 18-45, according to Families Against Fentanyl.

In May 2024, I launched One Pill Can Kill - Alaska, a statewide fentanyl awareness campaign. My team and I have compiled a toolkit with resources, tips and information designed to empower every Alaskan to join the fight. Anybody can help spread the word. As Alaskans have proved time and time again, when we come together, there is nothing we can’t accomplish.

This campaign will examine where fentanyl is coming from, where and how it is being sold, the dangers of the drug, how it impacts our Alaska communities, and the resources that are available for treatment, prevention, and reporting criminal activity.

Join us in the fight to save Alaskans, particularly our youth, from the poison that is fentanyl.
