What is #2069?

If you’ve noticed the #2069 signs around town and have wondered what they refer to, it’s a grassroots opioid overdose awareness campaign that began in Wrentham and quickly spread throughout the greater Boston area in reference to the estimated 2,069 individuals who died from opioid-related overdoses in 2016. As staggering as that number is, more recently updated estimates from the MA Department of Public Health put the number closer to 2,107.

For an overview of how the campaign got started, check out this story from Fox 25 Boston. And to learn more about the opioid epidemic in Massachusetts, go to the Commonwealth’s Chapter 55 report.
