When Ryan Hampton was recovering from opioid addiction in 2015, he remembers turning on the television at the recovery house where he was staying and seeing something remarkable: A rally, called "Unite to Face Addiction," drew hundreds of organizations and advocates for people who use drugs to the National Mall in Washington, D.C.
"As someone who had less than a year under their belt in recovery at that time, I remember looking at it and saying 'Wow, isn't this amazing? This community extends beyond the four walls of the recovery meeting that I go to religiously every night. These people are out there, doing some pretty incredible things,'" he said.
Inspired by what a life after drug use could look like, Hampton, now the founder of a national advocacy organization for people in recovery, wants to bring that community together — in a big way.

"It was driving from Albuquerque up to Seattle that I got three very serious speeding tickets," he said.
The Trump administration on Saturday imposed 25% tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico, while adding an additional 10% levy on goods from China.
