We won't have a gate counter, we won't have a clicker, but I think we're going to have a great crowd. But we're the ones that have to let people know that there's a lot of people still suffering from addiction and they need help and we've got to do something about it.
Imagine standing shoulder to shoulder with others who understand the struggles of addiction. That's the vision Donald McFarland shares in this episode of 'Since Right Now', where he joins hosts Jeff, Matt, and Chris to discuss the powerful UNITE to Face Addiction event in Washington, DC. Scheduled for October 4, 2015, this rally aims to end the silence around addiction and kickstart a movement for change.
Donald, representing Facing Addiction, highlights the urgency of implementing the Parity Act to stop the criminalization of addiction and ensure necessary resources for those affected. The conversation doesn't stop there. The group delves into the importance of creating a centralized hub for addiction information and transforming the political conversation around this pressing issue.
They also explore the personal choice of going public with one's recovery journey, featuring insights on speakers and performers at the event, and discussing resources available for Spanish-speaking communities. Fundraising and organizing efforts are also on the table, culminating in a passionate call to action for listeners to join the recovery movement. This episode is a must-listen for anyone eager to make a difference in the fight against addiction.
