‘I would sacrifice my life to get rid of this stuff,’ says Jim Rauh, who founded Families Against Fentanyl after the death of his 37-year-old son.

And more are coming soon to the Inland Empire, Rauh said.“We’re going to launch additional billboards in both Riverside and San Bernardino counties,” Rauh said. “The reason we’re doing this is to get the attention of the U.S. government.”

This isn’t optional,” Rauh said. “Them knowing about this danger and not doing anything about it is tantamount to treason to me.”So far, efforts by California law enforcement agencies, victim advocates and legislators to pass laws holding fentanyl dealers more accountable have failed..
