August 20, 2015 – Steven Tyler, Joe Walsh, Sheryl Crow and many other musicians and bands will come together on October 4, 2015 in DC for the “Who We Are – Facing Addiction” rally to raise awareness and start a conversation on an important issue: addition and recovery. Organizers want to start a conversation about addiction and treat it as a health issue, not a criminal one. The event will include music by Steven Tyler, Joe Walsh and others, but will also feature speakers getting the word out about one of the most pressing health issues facing us, addiction. Their goal is to citizen-lobby at a grassroots level on “Advocacy Day” for more funding for addiction treatment centers to help addicts get into recovery. Read more about this event on their website below, and check back to JTMP regularly as we will keep you updated and will cover the event and hopefully get some videos to post on our JTMP YouTube Channel. Below is the vision and mission goals of “Who We Are – Facing Addiction”.
