Topic: Drug Prevention
Posted on 9/4/2023

Reggie Brown, host at iHeartMedia Milwaukee radio station V100.7, is joining the “DJs Against Overdose” campaign to combat the increase in overdose deaths in the Black community. The initiative promotes the use of naloxone, a life-saving medication that quickly reverses opioid overdoses. Brown said, “Finally, the word is getting out about this lifesaver, Naloxone. I’ve seen firsthand what these opioids can do to people. Especially in my community, the Black community. Thankfully, Naloxone is now available to the public at Milwaukee Fire Stations and other locations for free, no questions asked, to save the life of someone in need. I am grateful to be working with Vital Strategies to spread the word about Naloxone to help save lives. Get, Give, Save.”
