Please sign this petition to tell County Executive Blakeman to release the funds allocated for preventing and treating opioid addiction.

In 2019, Nassau County received $100 million from opioid– related settlements intended for prevention and recovery programs. Blakeman’s history of withholding money from fire districts and EMS services, failing to fund The Safe Center—which served 5,000 domestic violence survivors annually, refusing to adopt the Families Against Fentanyl Act, and leaving more than $90 million in opioid settlement funds unallocated shows.

Blakeman’s failure to responsibly fund lifesaving services. These delays are putting residents at risk and costing lives.
