The Red Ribbon Campaign is the oldest and largest drug prevention program in the nation, reaching millions of young people. Red Ribbon week is celebrated October 23-31, 2019. The Red Ribbon campaign started after drug traffickers in Mexico City murdered DEA agent Kiki Camarena in 1985. This began the continuing tradition of displaying Red Ribbons as a symbol of intolerance towards the use of drugs. The campaign goal is to have the community unite and take a visible stand against drugs.
