San Francisco's Board of Supervisors is reviewing Mayor David Lurie's proposal to tackle the city's escalating fentanyl crisis by streamlining resources and cutting bureaucratic hurdles. The initiative, gaining support from various organizations, emphasizes the urgent need for action highlighted by personal stories from community advocates, including mothers affected by addiction. With over 4,000 overdose deaths reported since 2019, local leaders stress that immediate responses to addiction and recovery are critical to saving lives. The proposed ordinance aims to address this pressing public health emergency effectively and collaboratively.
As a mom who's had to deal with the gut-wrenching pain of not knowing if their child was alive on these streets, we 1,000% support Mayor Lurie.
People in San Francisco are suffering, every day that we don't act is another day of life lost to addiction, to overdose and to despair.
