In two weeks **(Monday, September 14th)** the National Black Harm Reduction Network (NBHRN) is hosting a webinar: ***What Black Folks Should Know About Opioid Settlement Funds***

This hour-long discussion will break down the landscape of settlement funds, talk through real strategies for influencing where money lands, and share what accountability can look like when Black-led organizations are driving the conversation instead of reacting to it. It will be an event jam-packed with information for community advocates and decision makers. 

It is also a pay-what-you-want event, including free!
