Join this virtual town hall to discuss the impact of COVID-19 on the recovery community and updates to the Purdue Pharma opioid bankruptcy.

Wednesday, May 13

7:00 - 8:30 p.m.

The New York Recovery Advocacy Project (NY-RAP) will be hosting its first virtual town hall on May 13th. Due to the critical nature of the COVID-19 pandemic in New York, and its effect on our community, we urge members of the recovery community statewide to participate in this discussion. Among the matters that will be discussed will be updates on the Purdue Pharma opioid lawsuit and bankruptcy case. It is vital that the money that is being offered in reparations for what has happened is being used to support our community’s needs.

The current COVID-19 health crisis has presented a wide-range of challenges to people in and those seeking recovery from addiction and mental health disorders. As a resilient community, we must come together to focus on solutions and how we will get through this trying time together. This is why WE NEED YOU!

Join this virtual town hall to discuss the impact of COVID-19 on the recovery community and updates to the Purdue Pharma opioid bankruptcy.

The Recovery Advocacy Project (RAP) is a robust network of people and organizations across our country advocating for addiction recovery policies and political platforms. RAP is committed to giving people in recovery, family members, and supporters of recovery the grassroots organizing tools so together we can advance recovery in our communities. RAP is working to build a visible and effective constituency in demand of community and public policy-based solutions in response to our country’s long-standing addiction crisis.

This conversation will impact the work that we all do to support New Yorkers in all stages of recovery. You are welcome to RSVP and join the upcoming town hall on Zoom.

Registered attendees will have the opportunity to submit questions live during the town hall.

COVID-19 Nevada Recovery Community Town Hall

Town Hall

April 23

6 - 7:30 p.m

Join elected leaders and public health experts for a discussion on the impact of COVID-19 on the recovery community and where we go from here.

Thursday, April 23

6 - 7:30 p.m.

The current COVID-19 health crisis in Nevada has presented a wide-range of challenges to people in and those seeking recovery from addiction and mental health disorders. As a resilient community, we have come together to focus on solutions and how we will get through this trying time together.

Given the current CDC guidelines and Governor Sisolak’s stay-at-home order, mutual aid groups that provide life-saving support services have moved online—and many are fortunate enough to have the access to the supports needed to sustain their pathways to wellness. However, many Nevadans are still unable to access the services needed to enter and maintain their personal recovery.

In the spirit of community collaboration and learning, the Recovery Advocacy Project will be hosting a virtual town hall for the recovery community, families, allies, and policy makers on Thursday, April 23 rd from 6:00-7:30pm PST. The purpose of the town hall will be to discuss the COVID-19 response, supporting those in and seeking recovery, and the impact of this pandemic on the demand for these needed services and supports. The town hall is also an opportunity for citizens of Nevada to learn more and provide input on the community funding needs to combat the state’s addiction and mental health crisis.

Join elected leaders and public health experts for a discussion on the impact of COVID-19 on the recovery community and where we go from here.
