DEA Launches Faces of Fentanyl Online Kiosk
 The Faces of Fentanyl memorial exhibit, located at the Museum at DEA Headquarters in Arlington, VA, displays more than 7,000 photos of people whose lives have been lost to fentanyl.
This year, DEA has enhanced the physical exhibit with the creation of a new, interactive online exhibit that can be accessed at www.dea.gov/facesoffentanyl. If a loved one has passed away due to fentanyl, a member of the public may submit their photo, first name, state, and forever age to be featured on the online exhibit, which can filter photos by the latter three categories and can be accessed anywhere online.
National Naloxone Awareness Day – June 6, 2025
Victoria’s Voice Foundation launched National Naloxone Awareness Day in 2023 with the support of a bipartisan congressional resolution recognizing June 6 as a day of national awareness and action.
June 6 honors the life of Victoria Siegel and serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of making naloxone widely known and accessible. Naloxone is a safe, effective, and easy-to-use medication that can reverse an opioid overdose and save lives. Join Victoria’s Voice on June 6 to raise awareness and reduce stigma:
- Wear Purple to show your support.
- Light Up Purple at your home, office, or in your community.
- Share Resources to educate others about naloxone and its lifesaving power.
Victoria’s Voice state that, “Together, we can honor lives lost to overdose, empower families with knowledge, and help prevent future tragedies. Thank you for being part of this lifesaving movement.”
