The photographer lent her support to new legislation that would dedicate $100 billion to battle the opioid crisis.

The photographer Nan Goldin led a sprawling demonstration at the Smithsonian’s Arthur M. Sackler Gallery in Washington, DC, on Thursday. Dozens of protesters streamed into the building carrying signs reading “Shame on Sackler” before filling the museum’s fountain and stairwell with empty pill bottles.
