Families Rally Outside White House, Urging Action on Facing Fentanyl's 301 Trade Case Petition

The fabric of America is being shredded by the PRC's illicit fentanyl

WASHINGTON, DC, UNITED STATES, November 13, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Facing Fentanyl¹ has filed a 301 Trade Case² petition with the United States Trade Representative (USTR), requesting urgent action to address the influx of deadly fentanyl precursors being shipped into the U.S. from China. Tomorrow, November 14th at 11 a.m., families affected by the fentanyl crisis will gather for a rally outside The White House to press the USTR to act on this critical issue. For years, families across America have been devastated by fentanyl-related losses.

These families will rally to amplify their stories, urging U.S. leaders to move forward with the Facing Fentanyl petition. The case asserts that the People’s Republic of China (PRC) is incentivizing the sale and shipment of deadly fentanyl precursors, which fuel an overwhelming portion of the fentanyl crisis in the United States. The petition calls for economic measures, including tariffs, that will slow the flow of these precursors without impacting inflation.

"We are calling on the USTR to prioritize our nation's health and security. We need measures that stop this deadly supply chain at its source," said Andrea Thomas, a coalition leader with Facing Fentanyl. The fentanyl crisis has placed a severe strain on the economy³ and a devastating toll on American families. By addressing this issue through trade action, Facing Fentanyl and its supporters believe the U.S. can take a powerful step to disrupt this deadly pipeline and alleviate the suffering experienced by so many.
