The Issue
Redirect Purdue’s Remaining $225 Million to Victims and Families, Not the U.S. Treasury Have you or your community been impacted by the opioid crisis? We are calling for accountability, transparency, and direct restitution to victims following the Purdue Pharma criminal proceedings. The U.S. Department of Justice still holds approximately $225 million in Purdue Pharma criminal forfeiture funds. We believe those funds should support victims, grieving families, and children, not disappear into the U.S. Treasury. Many families impacted by this crisis were excluded from meaningful participation in the Purdue bankruptcy process. Families have too often been treated as spectators while institutions, consultants, and administrators controlled decisions affecting our lives.
This effort calls for:
• Direct victim and family restitution
• Greater transparency and accountability
• Congressional review and oversight
• Enforcement of victims’ rights protections
• Meaningful participation by directly impacted families in future settlement and remediation processes We believe:
• Funds tied to criminal wrongdoing should help repair the harm caused
• Victims and families deserve a seat at the table
• Public health decisions should prioritize people over bureaucracy
• Accountability should not end with a bankruptcy agreement that prioritizes institutions.
We are asking individuals, organizations, advocates, and impacted families to stand with us and demand a more victim-centered approach to justice and restitution.
Please sign and share.
Thank you,
Maureen Mulroy Kielian — Southeast Florida Recovery Advocates
