We are proud to share that our founder, MJ Jackson, has lent her voice as a Black advocate in the impactful PSA with Song for Charlie. Representing marginalized communities, MJ continues to raise awareness about the fentanyl crisis and the importance of having these vital conversations. Let’s keep pushing for change together!
MJ Jackson, Founder and Executive Director of The Royal Rose Foundation, had the honor of speaking with youth at the U.S. Attorney's Office about the vital work our organization does in the community. MJ shared insights into our mission to empower BIPOC communities, tackle the fentanyl crisis, and provide education, advocacy, and support to those most impacted.
This meaningful opportunity allowed us to connect with young minds, inspire future change-makers, and highlight how collective action can create lasting impact. The Royal Rose Foundation is proud to lead these important conversations, paving the way for a healthier, safer, and more equitable future.
On May 25th, The Royal Rose Foundation hosted our first Save A Life Saturday of the season—and the impact was real.
Held in the heart of the community, this event brought people together for free Narcan training, overdose prevention education, and powerful moments of connection. From the music and food to the energy of folks showing up ready to learn, it was clear: our community is rising to meet this crisis together.
We’re especially grateful to Multnomah County for their continued support and to every individual who attended, shared the event, or simply showed up with open hearts. Whether you came to be trained, to support a loved one, or to just listen and learn—you made a difference.
This event is part of our ongoing effort to reduce stigma, raise awareness, and equip our community with life-saving tools. Because community care is harm reduction—and every life matters.
For the second consecutive year, the City of Portland has formally proclaimed May as Fentanyl Awareness Month—a powerful affirmation of our community’s fight against the ongoing opioid crisis.
This continued recognition is the result of tireless advocacy from grassroots leaders, families affected by overdose, and organizations like The Royal Rose Foundation, who are pushing for real change, education, and action.
We are honored to have helped lead the charge in making this proclamation possible ag
The Royal Rose Foundation is a nonprofit organization committed to uplifting and empowering communities through advocacy, education, and support. We focus on culturally relevant programs designed to address systemic inequities and challenges, particularly those impacting Black, Brown, and other BIPOC communities. Acknowledging the disproportionate effects of the fentanyl crisis, we place a priority on fostering trust and creating a safe, welcoming space for individuals and families affected by the opioid epidemic.
In recognizing that BIPOC communities have been especially hard-hit by the crisis, we are dedicated to addressing the stigma and trauma that often accompanies engagement with traditional government systems. Our foundation works to bridge the gap by providing accessible resources, offering compassionate support, and ensuring that no one is turned away due to past experiences with discrimination or neglect. We are focused on breaking cycles of harm and creating pathways for growth, healing, and empowerment.
Through meaningful partnerships with local organizations, leaders, and families, we strive to create opportunities for lasting, positive change. We aim to ensure that every community member—regardless of race or background—has access to the support and resources they need to thrive. Our approach prioritizes community safety, inclusivity, and well-being, and we are dedicated to building lasting connections that foster strength, resilience, and hope.
