The purple ribbons are to bring awareness to the opioid epidemic.

For opioid addiction. Not sure what that has to do with anything, but there you are.

I thought it was in support of Hillary (purple pantsuit), but it's supposed to be in support of the fight against opioids.

I've forgotten. They've got so many special efforts. LOL

Democratic lawmakers donned purple ribbons at Tuesday's State of the Union — in an effort to raise awareness about the opioid epidemic.

I believe The Purple ribbon is the ‘Hillary’ resistance movement. Reminds me of the Purple Hill and Bill wore as their ‘code’ color that night she gave her speech after the election.
