What happened
Office of National Drug Control Policy Director Sara Carter recorded a short message from Orlando, Florida on July 14, 2026, where she was appearing with the Drug Enforcement Administration at its “I’m Walking Away” event. Carter said the gathering brought together mothers, fathers, friends, supporters, educators and law enforcement to walk away from fentanyl, hold the cartels accountable and protect citizens from illicit drugs that she said are taking away America’s kids.
Carter introduced members of her team on camera, including the office’s chief medical officer, Dr. Lamb, and Sean Parnell with the DEA, and described the effort as a whole-of-government approach. She addressed people suffering from addiction, people who have lost a loved one, and people seeking treatment and recovery, saying her office wants to hear from them and is there to support them, and she closed with a warning to the cartels.
Why it matters
The clip shows the drug czar’s office pairing its cartel-enforcement message with a public recovery-and-treatment appeal, the two tracks the administration presents as its Fentanyl Free America campaign.
