SAN DIEGO – The U.S. Attorney’s Office, San Diego City Attorney’s Office and Aztec Link today launched its fourth anti-fentanyl social media campaign, #BeOnTheSafeSide, featuring local college athletes – this time San Diego State University football players – to coincide with International Overdose Awareness Day. Starting in 2023, the social media campaigns have showcased the San Diego State University Men’s basketball and women’s soccer teams and the MESA Foundation, plus the University of San Diego women’s basketball team and the Olé Foundation. Their consistent message: Know the risks of fentanyl, know the signs of overdose and know where to get Narcan/Naloxone, and how to use it.
