We can stop overdose deaths with Narcan, heroic street outreach workers do it everyday, reversing thousands of overdoses, saving countless lies. We have to support them. And we have to do more.

If people were dying of homicide, traffic violence, suicide, literally any other unnatural cause of death at this rate, our city would grind to a halt. People would be terrified, outraged, and they should be. People who are addicted to drugs also matter. We can save lives.

how dare you?
@MattHaneySF you ignore community members who beg for help. you give platitudes & slogans; lobby for "safe" injection sites not safe neighborhoods; push harm "reduction" not drug rehab. you never once said, "I will crack down on dealers, HARD." YOU are the problem.3 replies 4 retweets 22 likes -
Replying to @EricaJSandberg @SaviRoman
I speak extensively about the need for treatment, that's what most of the tweets are about, that's what the solution is. I do say that we need to stop drug dealing, and how harmful and deadly it is, explicitly, as I have said again, and again, and again.

“I do say that we need to stop drug dealing, and how harmful and deadly it is, explicitly, as I have said again, and again, and again.” Good! Now lobby @SFDAOffice & @chesaboudin to make use of the resources at his disposal. Otherwise it’s just the sound of one hand clapping.
