It is a moment to remember the mortality associated with substance use or behavioral health disorders broadly. I hope the spirit of that continues. However, we continue to make it our own, but I'm glad to see that it sustains as an evergreen moment to, as an organizing activity in your community to come together, to remember, to mourn, to share hope, but ultimately to follow up with some kind of mobilizing activity afterwards to find solutions.
