Who we are
One Pill Will Kill CA is a grassroots campaign dedicated to raising awareness about the dangers of fentanyl and opioid overdoses, with a particular focus on educating teens in Tulare County. Founded by passionate students from Dinuba High School, including Sanjog Pannu and Kylie Lopez, our mission is to prevent more lives from being tragically cut short by accidental overdoses.
Our work is deeply personal. The campaign began after Kylie’s devastating loss of her brother Isaiah to a fentanyl overdose in May 2020. His death, like so many others, could have been prevented with better education and awareness. Driven by this personal experience, we are committed to spreading knowledge about the risks of fentanyl, the signs of overdose, and the importance of timely intervention.
Through community events, social media outreach, and partnerships with local organizations like the Zachary Horton Foundation and MiMentor, we’ve reached thousands of people, handing out brochures, offering Narcan training, and sharing life-saving information. Our goal isn’t just to raise awareness, but to create lasting change, empowering individuals with the tools and knowledge they need to save lives.
We are more than just a campaign—we are a movement determined to combat the fentanyl crisis one person, one conversation, and one life at a time. Together, we can make a difference and ensure that no other family has to endure the loss of a loved one due to this silent killer.
Kylie’s Personal Connection
“My name is Kylie Lopez and this is my story on how fentanyl affected my life personally. On May 29, 2020, my day was anything but normal. This is the day I found out that my 17-year-old brother, Isaiah, had passed away from an accidental fentanyl overdose. He had gone to a friend's house the previous day to spend the night not knowing that he would never return home. Isaiah and his friends each took one pill on the night of May 28 and each one of them was laced with fentanyl. Isaiah's pill was the only one with a deadly dose. His friends didn't know the signs of an overdose so they watched Isaiah do the death rattle in his sleep slowly losing life. As they slowly came to the realization something was wrong, they panicked. Instead of calling for help and possibly saving Isaiah's life, they hid the rest of the remaining drugs in his car not wanting to get into trouble. If they had only called for help, Isaiah could still be alive to this day. His friends knowing the early signs of an overdose maybe would have prevented this all or even given Isaiah a fighting chance. The greatest piece of knowledge they could have used though was "The Good Samaritan Law". This law protects from arrest, charge, or prosecution for people seeking emergency medical assistance at the scene of a possible overdose. Isaiah's friends thought that if they did call for help, then they would all be arrested for possessing and taking drugs. My story makes me understand the severity of knowing about fentanyl awareness. To prevent more teenagers from dying from fentanyl, we need to educate them about the signs of an overdose and how to prevent it. There are too many young lives lost and families left grieving due to the little knowledge of fentanyl overdoses. If we can educate teenagers properly, then no more families will have to suffer such tragic losses.”
