Hundreds of volunteers canvassed neighborhoods throughout New Jersey Thursday, but they weren't doling out political materials. Instead, the group was targeting doctors, dentists and the broader community with messages about preventing opioid misuse.

"It's everyone all in this together, you can't just go after individuals selling the pills or individuals dispensing them, you have to talk about this with everyone," said volunteer Bob Chew, a retired homicide detective and police officer in Camden.
