WHY?
Every week, over 110 Californians lose their lives to fentanyl poisoning. This deadly drug is flooding into our state through the southern border, with 98% of seized fentanyl entering the U.S. via the U.S.-Mexico Border.
This new billboard in Fallbrook is raising awareness about the dangers of fentanyl, the heartbreaking loss of life it causes, and how much of it is being smuggled into our country. It's crucial that everyone understands the scale of this crisis so we can take action to save lives.
