National Fentanyl Poisoning Awareness Campaign

TV Host Dr. Laura 

Berman’s Son, 16, 

Dies of a Drug 

Overdose 

Relationship expert Dr. Laura Berman recently experienced 

tragedy when her 16 year old son was poisoned by fake Zanax 

pill laced with fentanyl and died. The pill was purchased by him 

via the social media platform, SnapChat, when he was solicited 

by a drug dealer . 

Shockingly, it takes just four, tiny salt-like grains of fentanyl to kill 

an adult. Sadly, Samuel Berman Chapman joins more than 230 

victims poisoned by fentanyl every single day while 40 others die 

from drug overdoses from drugs on a daily basis, as well. That’s 

270 per day and 100,000 in 2020, alone! 

We are asking you to join us in educating our country by 

spreading awareness about fentanyl poisoning and the 

opioid/drug epidemic. We have each other. Please volunteer to 

make 10 calls and send 10 postcards!

A warm welcome to The Global Recovery Movement’s public health 

crisis campaign, “Stop Fentanyl Poisoning and the Opioid Epidemic”! 

We are asking you to commit to the power of 10 by making 10 phone 

calls and sending 10 postcards to 10 local leaders including your police 

chief that you either have or can develop relationships with. Since 

warm introductions work best, if you know someone who knows your 

Police Chief or Mayor, please ask them to introduce you or ask if you 

can use their name when making the calls. 

To help make this urgent campaign successful, it's important that you 

keep these impactful numbers in mind: 

270 a day or 100,000 in the past year alone young people are 

dying every single day from Fentanyl poisoning and opioid 

overdoses - 85% are from fentanyl poisoning 

87,000 deaths in 2020 

Over 100,000 deaths from Fentanyl and opioids are estimated 

for 2021 

2 tiny salt-like grains of Fentanyl can kill an adult 

Fentanyl can make a person instantly stop breathing 

Fentanyl is found in most illicit drugs and fake pills like 

OxyContin, Xanax, Percocet, Adderall, Ecstasy and fentanyl 

poisoning 


8

PAARI (Police Assisted Addiction Recovery Initiatives) is a great 

organization that you can introduce them to. Your leaders can 

contact them by going to https://paariusa.org/police or 

emailing info@paariusa.org. They will discuss how to start a 

program and assist with executing the model in your community 

for non - arrest pathways to recovery. PAARI is in 630 police 

departments. The police and peer counselors follow up after 

overdoses and encourage people to get treatment. They also 

place willing people in treatment. 

Think of yourselves as storytellers. The first story you are telling them 

may be the loss of a loved one to fentanyl or other opioids. 

Additionally, we ask you to invite another person to send 10 postcards 

and make 10 calls, as well. There is strength in numbers and we 

believe the power of 10 multiplied by every one of us committed to 

reducing the number of overdose deaths in our country can do this 

TOGETHER! 

With gratitude and love, 

The Board Of The Global Recovery Movement

DO NOT LET YOUR CHILD DIE FROM FENTANYL. 

WE ARE NOW LOSING KIDS AS YOUNG AS 12 YEARS OF AGE! 

Dear Parents: 

Operation Dunkirk is what we have dubbed our mission to reach our 

nation’s local mayors, police departments and school boards in an effort 

to help educate their residents about the immediate dangers of fentanyl 

poisoning. This is happening NOW as I write to you. 

Unbeknownst to many, fake pills along with most street drugs, such as 

cocaine, meth, crack, cannabis, etc. can be laced with fentanyl and are in 

circulation targeting teens. 

As parents, we ask you to warn your children NOT to take anything from 

anyone. This includes their peers! No pills, powders, drugs or even candy, 

not even if it’s in the wrapper. 

Your local leaders can use this information and share it via their 

newsletters, social media, posters/programs in the schools along with 

sitting down with local media to spread the word about these fake pills 

and fentanyl poisoning. They can send our postcard or a version of it or 

put it in their newsletters. 

Here’s an analogy to help it make sense: If chicken was poisoned and we 

didn’t know it, we would continue buying chicken. Once we did become 

aware that it was indeed poisoned, we would steer clear of it. We must 

adopt this same mindset and instill it within our children, teens and 

young adults! 

They don’t know about fentanyl’s existence and the perils of it including 

instant death and/or severe brain damage. Sadly, it is easily available for 

purchase via social media including SnapChat and Craig's List. Dealers are 

on these platforms and can easily manufacture using a pill press 

(available on Amazon). These pills can be made to resemble Xanax, 

Oxycontin, Percocet, Adderall, Ecstasy and other meds and shipped 

straight to your home just as Amazon packages are sent! 


10

Because this can happen to any family we suggest having narcan on hand. 

You have under 8 min. to save a teen. Narcan must be in our schools now. 

It is a simple nose spray. 

Parents like Dr. Laura Berman, who recently found her 16-year-old son, 

Sammy, dead in his bedroom, are telling their stories daily. Sammy bought 

the pill on Snapchat from a drug dealer and it was delivered to their home. 

Additionally, Oregon recently lost four teens within 18 months from fake 

pills laced with fentanyl. The alarming rise has driven Beaverton School 

District to host a virtual community conversation, asap. Beaverton School 

District Superintendent Don Grotting participated in a panel with law 

enforcement and Multnomah County health experts because his campuses 

are dealing with the harmful synthetic opioids. Grotting said that in the 

past 18 months, fentanyl has had a deadly impact on their middle school 

and high school students.

We ask you to please take part in The Global Recovery Movement’s and The 

Pharmacist's public health crisis campaign. It requires 10 simple phone calls 

and sending 10 pre-printed postcards (sent automatically) to get the 

attention of your local leaders. Together, you can unite within your 

city/town against fentanyl. This crisis needs more momentum and 

attention to avert the imminent dangers that fentanyl poses. Just like the 

country’s approach to resolving Covid-19, so must be the same diligence 

put forth to battle fentanyl poisoning! 

We urge you to log on to GRMovement.org and volunteer for Operation 

Dunkirk - Public Health Crisis Campaign, today. You will help save our 

teens! 

With love and gratitude,

Kindly see the email below, we just need your contacts' contact information 

confirmed so we can send them their postcards. Thank you! 

Dear [First Name], 

Thank you for helping mail postcards to bring our mission to SFP and SDE - stop 

fentanyl poisoning, stop the drug epidemic and to flip addiction from the criminal 

justice system to the healthcare system. You have chosen to send a postcard each 

month to your warm contacts within the United States.

Continued 

The campaign has two parts. A phone call to ask permission to send a postcard, 

then a follow up call a week later to make your asks. The campaign runs like this: 

Action 1 - Day 1: Introduction call to warm contact (just sending postcards is not 

enough - this is all about relationship building.) 

Action 2 - Day 7: Follow up call - take next action, e.g. set meeting time, present at 

town council or school board meeting - Plan an Overdose Awareness Day and 

plant a Memorial Tree in remembrance of - rootingforrecovery.net to register your 

Memorial Tree. 

Make your asks - Support the Fentanyl Poisoning and Drug Epidemic Public Health 

Crisis campaign. Our goal is to make as many people aware, globally, as we can 

about this fast-moving global health emergency and that fentanyl is poison. 

Hundreds of children under 12 are dying from fentanyl poisoning. Many, many 

teens and young adults are taking fake pills with fentanyl thinking they are Xanax, 

Oxycontin, Percocet, Adderall, and now Ecstacy. Most fake pills are pure fentanyl. 

It only takes 2mg to kill an adult. Our entire illicit drug supply is laced with fentanyl 

poison. We are losing an airplane full of kids every single day. That’s 250+ a day! 

Four teens recently died from fake pills from the Beaverton School District in 

Oregon. Another four died at Ole' Miss. this past January 2021 while seven were 

miraculously saved. 

Kindly call your 10 contacts and use this script: 

Call 1: Prequalification/Introduction call: Write down the contact information 

down as you go adding the person’s name who answers the phone. 

Recipient: Ring ring ring… Hello? 

GR Caller: Hi, this is Sally from The Global Recovery Movement, how is your day 

going? With whom do I have the pleasure of speaking? 

Recipient: Hey, my name is John. 


16

Continued 

GR Caller: Thanks for taking my call, John. The reason I'm calling is that the 

fentanyl poisoning and the drug crisis has taken hold and we are losing babies, 

children, teens and adults at a rapid pace. We need to bring awareness 

immediately to this public health emergency regarding these fake pills laced with 

fentanyl, the ability for drug dealers to target our children via social media and 

fatalities that are happening daily. This fentanyl crisis is the greatest threat to our 

communities and families that we have ever faced and we desperately need your 

help to warn the public of these dangers. 

Did you know it only takes 2 mg of fentanyl to kill an adult and that close to 250 

young people are dying every single day? 81,000 people have died in 2020 and 

100,000 are estimated to die in 2021. That’s a 20% increase. We put together a 

mailer that we would like to send. Whom, in your office, may I address it to? 

Recipient: That would be Sandra Johnson. 

GR Caller: Great, Sandra J-O-H-N-S-O-N? Okay, and her address is still: 123 XYZ 

Street, ABS, NJ 11223? Awesome. Would you also share her email? 

sjohnson@abc.com? Okay, I will send that card out today and follow up next 

week, sometime. Would you please brief her on our conversation and let her 

know it's on the way? Thanks for your time. Looking forward to working with all of 

you in helping to make this very important information available to residents in 

our state, county or town.

Call 2, seven days after the postcards are sent. Kindly refer to the notes you took 

on the first call: 

Recipient: Ring ring ring… Hello? 

GR Caller: Hey John? Sally here. How are you, today? Glad to hear. Hey, is Sandra 

in? I am following up on something I sent in the mail, last week. 

Sandra: Hello? 

GR Caller: Sandra, it is Sally with The Global Recovery Movement. I was 

wondering if you were moved by the postcard on fentanyl poisoning, fake pills and 

the drug epidemic that I sent you? The reason for my call is to ask you to support 

The Global Recovery Movement’s mission to make everyone aware of the critical 

action needed to stop fentanyl poisoning and the drug epidemic. This fentanyl 

crisis is the greatest threat to our communities and families that we have ever 

faced and we desperately need your help to warn the public of these dangers. 

I was wondering if we could: (call to action based on their position) You don't have 

to do all of this. You can simply send the postcard to your warm contact. These are 

suggestions. 

Mayor: Present the fentanyl poisoning and drug epidemic crisis at your next town 

council meeting or put our educational postcards in the town newsletter or send 

to residents. Your town or school district can print their own and send their own. 

They can use our postcards for inspiration. We have made a video for your 

presentations to make it easy. Plan an Overdose Awareness Day and plant a 

Memorial Tree to honor our loved ones rootingforrecovery.net to register your 

Memorial Tree. Organize a community coalition. NJ has had them in 400 towns 

and ciities for the last 30 years and funds them with drug fine money. They are 

called Municipal Alliances https://www.gcada.nj.gov. This is the Beaverton School

School Board/Superintendent: Make a presentation about placing Student 

Assistance Counselors in schools, PTAs leading prevention programs and 

disseminating educational information to parents and students on fentanyl 

poisoning, fake pills thought to be Xanax, Oxycontin (M30s), Percocet, Adderall 

and Ecstacy. We have a video for you to show at School Board or PTA meetings. It 

is imperative that we convey opioid addiction started from the overprescribing of 

opioids to young people to deal with pain from wisdom teeth removal and 

sports/other injuries. Parents must understand how easily kids have become 

addicted to these pain killers rather than simply using an ice pack and Tylenol. This 

method is sufficient for dealing with wisdom teeth removal. Start a 

School/Community Coalition. Support the availability of Narcan in schools. These 

fake pills are everywhere now. Kids are taking them to school. How highly 

addictive opioids and, especially fentanyl, the most powerful opioid, are. And, that 

fentanyl is in most illicit drugs now. No illicit drug is safe now. NJ has had SAC's - 

Student Assistance Counselors in high schools and middle schools for 30 years. 

They identify at risk children and get them help. 1 in 4 children are being affected 

by someone's substance abuse. 1 in 10 teens are addi ted to alcohol or drugs.

epidemic by seeking non arrest pathways to recovery rather than jail or anything 

punitive for small amounts. We know many who have been placed in a jail cell 

rather than a treatment bed without withdrawal or cravings medication after an 

overdose. Some have died. We know many who have overdosed and died right

Tips For Calling Your Local Leaders And 

Police 

If contacting your state’s Congress members, they can be reached through 

the U.S. Capitol Switchboard at (202) 224-3121. When you call, ask to be 

connected to the office of your state’s legislator(s). 

Other leaders in your city/town/county, can be Googled. 

Think carefully about the reason for your call before you pick up the 

phone. The goal is to clearly state what action you want your recipient to 

take. The call will be brief, so you want to know exactly what you're asking 

and the information you are sharing so you can get right to the point. 

Identify yourself, make sure they understand that you are a concerned 

voter and tell the aide you would like to leave a brief message, for 

example: "Please tell Senator/Representative (Name) that I support the 

USA FLIP, moving treatment from the criminal justice system to the 

healthcare system and would like to discuss the subject further with 

her/him/them. I would also like to discuss planting a Memorial Tree in our 

town/city/state with (Name) in remembrance of the one million loved ones 

who have died from this man-made opioid epidemic. 

Ask to speak with the aide who handles y 

our issue. If you want to do more than leave a simple message, you want 

to make sure you're talking to the person who works on the issue. Usually, 

a staff member, not the specific leader you are calling, will take your 

telephone calls. Make clear your position and the action you think your 

member should take. Feel free to ask questions and share information 

about your issue, but be concise and considerate. 


23

Do’s and Don’ts 

Do 

State your name, address and 

telephone number so they know 

you are one of their constituents 

Carefully plan a strategy; be 

specific and ask for action 

Voice your position and solicit 

support from your legislator 

Don't 

Burn bridges 

Waste time 

Lie 

Know your issue, and tell the truth 

Always be punctual, polite, and 

patient 

Follow-up: Write a thank you note 

Exaggerate statistics 

Make promises you can't deliver 

Be argumentative 


24

Remember: 

Timing is very important. If the legislation you are concerned 

about is imminent, contacting your legislator quickly by phone or 

email can be very effective. However, if you have time, take 

advantage of several influence techniques, such as writing a 

letter, or meeting with your elected Members of Congress and/or 

their staff members. The key is to use timing to your advantage. 

Meet with staffers. Staffers are the key to getting work done. It 

is important to develop a working relationship with staffers who 

are assigned to your issue. When it comes time for action, 

knowing someone to call will pay off. The key is to develop a 

network that can put your action into play. 

Voice your position. Legislators frequently act on behalf of their 

constituency, even if your legislator does not currently support 

your position it can be extremely helpful to contact them. Make 

your concerns vocal, and solicit support from your community 

leader. 

Know the issue. Legislators and local leaders have several 

issues they are concerned with at any given time. Be sure that 

you have ready information based on sound, scientific research. 

Ask questions about your leaders' feelings toward a particular 

issue, and be ready for your legislators to ask you questions 

about your position. Knowledge is power.

THE PORTUGAL MODEL during their opioid epidemic in 1999: 

400 overdose deaths per year reduced to 34 

900 HIV/AIDS deaths reduced to 18 

100,000 IV drug users reduced to 500 

Held these numbers for 20 years 

Michigan is the same size as Portugal, but, sadly, had 2,600 overdose 

deaths in 2019. In 2020, overdose deaths shot up more than 20 %! 

Support legislation for a physician-led, Command-Center approach 

just like Portugal’s. 

Dayton, Montgomery County, Ohio uses a Command-Center 

approach. They publish overdose deaths in real time. They have 

successfully cut their overdose death numbers in half, making it the 

only county in the USA, pre-COVID-19, to do so. 

Vermont is our most successful state! They have cut overdose deaths 

by 25%. They accomplished this with the police referring and taking 

people to treatment and lowered barriers to prescribing 

buprenorhine and Narcan, everywhere.

D i d y o u k n o w ? 

Highly addictive, fentanyl is 80-100 times stronger 

than morphine and 30-50 times stronger than 

heroin. 

Within minutes of ingesting, fentanyl can cause 

breathing to completely stop. 

85% of all overdose deaths are from fentanyl 

poisoning. 

Many victims have no idea fentanyl is in their illicit 

pills or drugs. 

250 young Americans will die today from fentanyl 

poisoning and overdoses. 

Deaths are up 27%, an all time high. Over 100,000 

deaths expected in 2021.

Why is OREGON our HOPE? 

The Oregon Model (Bill 110) is pretty much a copy of the Portugal Model. 

It began Feb. 1, 2021. The way it works is $100M from marijuana tax 

money will be deposited solely for treatment and recovery services in 

October into Oregon's coffers. Money that is desperately needed 

for immediate treatment and medicines (MAT's). 

We can give you every stat possible about why the proven Portugal 

Model works. However, we won’t know Oregon’s stats until a year from 

now. 

WHERE IS THE HOPE? 

Oregon is our new experiment. By simply not arresting users for small 

amounts of drugs, Oregon will flip addiction from the wrong system - 

criminal justice to the right system - healthcare. 

Two Scenarios: 

CLOSE YOUR EYES #1 

Your son or daughter is picked up with drugs (under a 10-day supply.) 

Your child will end up with a felony, which carries a 1-10 year sentence to 

prison and a lifelong record in most states. Your child could be thrown in 

a jail cell without withdrawal or craving medicines and die. Or, go to 

prison and die on their way out the door from overdose because their 

bodies can not handle the powerful drugs after an abstinence period. If 

your child wants treatment, there are waits for beds and very little long 

term treatment. Your child's chances of dying now in our system are 90% 

from addiction or fentanyl poisoning.

CLOSE YOUR EYES #2 

Your son or daughter is picked up with drugs (under a 10-day supply.) In 

Oregon, your child will be given a citation with a $100 fine and receive a 

phone number with a 24/7 hotline. The $100 fine is waived if your child 

receives a medical evaluation to determine if they have an addiction. 

Your child can get help or treatment immediately or reject it without any 

penalty. If your child needs withdrawal or cravings medication they can 

go to the emergency room right away without fear. If your child rejects 

help they will just pay the $100 fine. 

Your child may not be ready for treatment. With this system in Portugal 

83% accept the help or treatment and only 5% ever return. 

These common scenarios are killing 270 kids a day in America. The land 

of the free. Now your child is a criminal on top of having a life 

threatening disease and the risk of fentanyl poisoning. Climbing this 

mountain when you are suffering is way too hard if not impossible. 

Possession for small amounts usually do not end up in the drug courts. 

We will still have drug courts for more serious offenses. But, why not get 

people help earlier? At the beginning of their addiction. On their first 

brush with the law. 

Studies show that treatment works best when a person chooses to get 

treatment. Not when they are hammered into it.

Which scenario would you choose for your beloved child? 

We will have the verdict when Oregon works. 

We already have the verdict on Portugal. Portugal stopped their heroin 

epidemic 20 years ago. Overdose deaths declined by 90% in a couple of 

years. They have held their overdose death numbers for 20 years. In 2019 

Portugal had 34 overdose deaths - Michigan had 2600. Michigan and 

Portugal are the same size. Portugal's prison population (with people 

incarcerated with this disease) is 75% less. The savings go into treatment. 

Portugal uses their National Lottery money to pay for this. We are the 

richest country on earth. We will beat Covid quickly. We found the money 

for that. Help us flip the system.
