What it reported doing in 2024
The overdose response network (orn") works to address the overdose crisis by increasing education and awareness, to decrease stigma and curb addiction, while providing communities with the tools they need to combat the epidemic and save lives. Orn's empowering faith leaders (efl) program has been training and mobilizing faith leaders across the country since 2018. The program guides cohorts of diverse faith leaders through approximately ten learning sessions that cover topics related to substance use prevention, treatment, recovery, and harm reduction, and empowers them to act in their communities. In 2024, the overdose response network partnered with the Georgia department of behavioral health and developmental disabilities and the Georgia council for recovery for a 48-stop bus tour timed to national recovery month to raise awareness on the u.s. Overdose crisis. Since launching, the network has distributed almost a million doses of naloxone, installed thousands of overdose aid kits in churches, schools, convenience stores, and community groups, and has trained hundreds of faith leaders to support recovery efforts in their communities.too small to fail, the early childhood initiative of the clinton foundation, is leading a public awareness and action campaign to promote the importance of early brain and language development and to support parents and caregivers with tools to talk, read, and sing with their young children from birth. In 2024, too small to fail partnered with the frameworks institute and rockefeller foundation to create a playbook for storytellers on how to frame the impact of climate change on children's health. Secretary clinton and chelsea clinton expanded on this work by hosting "media that motivates," encouraging popular media to share stories that explore this topic. Too small to fail also announced a new commitment to action to launch a statewide literacy outreach initiative to promote early literacy, in partnership with the barbara bush foundation for family literacy and the united way of Pennsylvania.project 42 highlights the record of the clinton administration and engages with alumni of the clinton administration and campaigns.
