International Overdose Awareness Day August 31, 2013

Wear Silver

In honor of Cory Monteith and many others who lost their lives from drug overdose, let us come together and wear silver on August 31, to create a universal symbol of awareness of overdose and its effects.

• Wearing silver can signify the loss of someone cherished or demonstrate support to those bearing a burden of grief.
• Wearing silver sends out a message. That message is that the infinite value of each human being nullifies presumption, prejudice and stigma towards people who use drugs.
• Wearing silver celebrates life.

Fans/Supporters of Cory Monteith on Twitter: Let us come together and show our universal tribute to Cory Monteith by honoring him on International Overdose Awareness Day, a day to commemorate those who have met with death or permanent injury as a result of drug overdose; a day to acknowledge the grief felt by their families and friends. On August 31, 2013: change your icon to Montourage Unite’s official International Overdose Awareness Day logo. Show your support to both overdose awareness and honor Cory at the same time. This logo is specifically made to show a universal bond between each and every Cory Monteith fan/supporter.

When tweeting on this important day, use International Overdose Awareness Day’s official hash tag, taken from their website:
