- The group gained access to major events after Bonnaroo agreed to let them table in 2022, helping expand harm reduction at festivals nationwide.
- This Must Be The Place gave away over 46,000 units of Narcan last year and estimates donating $4.5 million worth of naloxone since 2022.
- The CDC recommends drug test strips to detect fentanyl, while harm reduction zones monitor attendees for safety rather than enforcement, Perry explained.
- By the end of 2023, 44 states and D.C. had adopted similar harm reduction measures, signaling a growing acceptance of these efforts at music events.
