	"description": "North Carolina’s current Good Samaritan law is one of the most limited in the country. It does not provide adequate protection for people calling 911 in the event of a drug overdose. We need your support to improve North Carolina’s Good Samaritan law to help reduce the number of people who lose their lives to drug overdose. This support petition is to build up a broad base of support to strengthen the law and to alert those who care about this issue when there will be important actions to take regarding this issue. NC drug overdose deaths increased by 40% in 2020 and continued to increase in 2021 and 2022. There is a fentanyl and substance use crisis and we can demand that elected officials and decisions makers do more about it. As one of the most restricted Good Samaritan 911 laws in the country, North Carolina can strengthen the existing law by • Provide immunity for all types of drugs that people may possess so there is no barrier to calling 911 to save someones life. Fentanyl is not protected under our current Good Samaritan law and yet fentanyl is estimated to be involved in 70% of overdose deaths. • Protect people from arrest and charging in addition to prosecution like the majority of other states. • Protect the overdose victim for calling 911 on their own behalf. • Protect others at the scene, not just the person who calls for emergency services. Our state should not lag behind others when it comes to saving people’s lives. TAKE ACTION HERE!",
