The Overdose Rock-N-Roll T-Shirt Memorial
A National Tribute to Lives Lost to Overdose

Join us on Zoom
Friday, August 22th
12:00 PM EST

Every year, more than 100,000 lives are lost to overdose in the U.S. These are not numbers—they are our family, parents, bandmates, and
friends.

Inspired by the power of the AIDS Memorial Quilt, this project will create a living tribute with a distinctly American symbol of identity
and culture: the rock-n-roll T-shirt.

What it is:
A public art and remembrance project made of 100,000 donated band T-shirts—each one honoring a life lost to overdose, with their name, story, lyrics, or memories shared by loved ones.

Launch Date: August 31, 2025 — International Overdose Awareness Day
Major Display Goal: August 31, 2026 — International Overdose Awareness
Day, National Mall, Washington DC

Together, we can build a memorial that shouts love, memory, and resistance louder than silence. Musicians for Overdose will host an
open zoom call on August 22 to explain the campaign and answer any questions.

The Hidden Dangers of Counterfeit Pills 💊

Parents, it’s crucial to talk to your children about the serious risks posed by counterfeit pills. These fake medications are often made to look exactly like legitimate prescription drugs, but they can contain lethal amounts of illegally manufactured fentanyl. ‼️

Tragically, nearly 1 in 4 adolescent overdose deaths in the U.S. involve counterfeit pills. The danger is real: fentanyl-laced pills are impossible to detect by sight, taste, or smell. Just one pill can be deadly.

Start the conversation today. Awareness can save lives. For more information, on ways to access Naloxone, Treatment and other resources, visit .
