<p>A homeless man and convicted child molester who camped near a San Francisco school with signs saying &#8220;free fentanyl 4 new users&#8221; was booked into jail Thursday, records show.</p>
<p>&#8220;We believe that he presented a public safety risk that necessitated him being in custody while this case is open,&#8221; District Attorney Brooke Jenkins told ABC7 Bay Area.</p>
<p>Jenkins announced on Oct. 26 that Moore would face multiple criminal charges.</p>
<p>San Francisco Superior Court judge Vedica Puri granted the DA&#8217;s request. </p>
<p>&#8220;While this city is extraordinarily empathetic to its unhoused, we offer untold amounts of services; there is a limit. So, when there&#8217;s a public nuisance issue, this court has to take it seriously,&#8221; Puri said, according to ABC7 Bay Area reported.</p>

<p><span style="box-sizing:border-box;display:block;overflow:hidden;width:initial;height:initial;background:none;opacity:1;border:0;margin:0;padding:0;position:relative"><span style="box-sizing:border-box;display:block;width:initial;height:initial;background:none;opacity:1;border:0;margin:0;padding:0;padding-top:56.25%"/></span>Joseph Adam Moore was arrested by police around on Oct. 20 after he refused to remove his belongings and leave the area by 12:15 p.m. | <span class="sr-only">Source: </span>Garrett Leahy/The Standard</p>
<p>Jail records show Moore was booked into jail on Thursday around 11 a.m. on a $35,000 bond and is due in court next on Nov. 8.</p>
<p>Moore was booked on one misdemeanor charge of contempt of a court order, battery, and &#8220;obstructing free and comfortable use of liberty and property,&#8221; jail records show.</p>
<p>Moore&#8217;s attorney, Erica Franklin, said in an email that Moore is being charged with misdemeanor battery and maintaining a public nuisance through the use and/or placement of his tent. Franklin said her client is not being charged with contempt of a court order but is on misdemeanor probation for violating a restraining order to prevent him from straying on the property of the San Francisco Fire Department.</p>
<p>San Francisco police had previously said Moore was subject to a stay away order from the fire department after he created a nuisance by camping behind a San Francisco firehouse.</p>
<p>Franklin said she is moving to dismiss the public nuisance charge against Moore.</p>
<p>&#8220;The [public nuisance charge] is an unconstitutional attempt to get him to leave the neighborhood, as they were complaints about him, and it is not a valid charge. I will be filing a motion to dismiss it,&#8221; Franklin said.</p>
<p>Franklin told ABC7 the signs Moore posted outside his encampment is why Moore came to the attention of authorities. </p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s not like anybody actually saw him giving meth or fentanyl to anybody,&#8221; Franklin told the news outlet. “He doesn&#8217;t; he didn&#8217;t have any meth or fentanyl on him.”</p>
<p>Police confirmed Moore was arrested for battery after throwing liquid on someone before getting into an altercation with them on Oct. 19. A day later, Moore told The Standard he had been punched in the face by a parent from the Stella Maris Academy. Police then arrested him. </p>
<p>ABC7&#8217;s Dan Noyes reports Moore poured a gallon jug of apple juice over a parent before the parent hit him.</p>
<p>Franklin said Moore&#8217;s battery charge is from a battery committed by a man against Mr. Moore, who was punched in the face. </p>
<p>&#8220;Mr. Moore was minding his own business and this man came over and tried to remove his signs and threatened to burn his property. The police refused to arrest this other man and arrested Mr Moore instead,&#8221; Franklin said.</p>
<p>Stella Maris is a K-8 Catholic school directly across the street from where Moore camped at Ninth Avenue and Geary Boulevard.</p>

<p>San Francisco Archdiocese spokesperson Peter Marlow said the religious organization is following Moore&#8217;s case closely. </p>
<p>&#8220;We want to make sure children and families are safe, reach out to the homeless, and support a solution from the city that will achieve both of those goals,&#8221; Marlow said.</p>
<p><h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-convicted-pedophile">Convicted Pedophile</h2>

<p>California’s Megan’s Law website lists Moore as a San Francisco transient convicted of lewd or lascivious acts with a child under 14 years of age in 1997 and released from prison in 2002.

<p>A San Francisco homeless man who camped across the street from a school displaying signs offering free fentanyl for new users and methamphetamine for stolen items is a convicted pedophile, records show. </p>
<p>Joseph Adam Moore, 46, is camped opposite the Stella Maris Academy K-8 Catholic school on Geary Boulevard at Ninth Avenue. Convictions in Santa Cruz in the mid-&#8217;90s that are listed on the state’s registry of sex offenders say he was found guilty of forcible unlawful sex in 1997 and committed lewd acts with a child under 14 in 1996.</p>
<p><span style="box-sizing:border-box;display:block;overflow:hidden;width:initial;height:initial;background:none;opacity:1;border:0;margin:0;padding:0;position:relative"><span style="box-sizing:border-box;display:block;width:initial;height:initial;background:none;opacity:1;border:0;margin:0;padding:0;padding-top:75.29411764705883%"/></span>Joseph Adam Moore stands next to his encampment on Ninth Avenue north of Geary Boulevard in San Francisco&#8217;s Inner Richmond neighborhood. | <span class="sr-only">Source: </span>George Kelly/The Standard</p>
<p>The Standard visited the encampment on Tuesday, and from under a drab gray dropcloth stretched over several bicycles and a motorcycle, a man came out and identified himself as Moore.</p>
<p>When asked about the signs, Moore said he had put them up a couple of days earlier and added that they had received a charged response.</p>
<p>&#8220;People have threatened my life,” Moore said. “They&#8217;ve driven by, told me to take the signs down and [asked] what am I doing in front of a school and a bunch of stuff.”</p>
<p><span style="box-sizing:border-box;display:block;overflow:hidden;width:initial;height:initial;background:none;opacity:1;border:0;margin:0;padding:0;position:relative"><span style="box-sizing:border-box;display:block;width:initial;height:initial;background:none;opacity:1;border:0;margin:0;padding:0;padding-top:75.29411764705883%"/><img alt="Signs reading &quot;Meth for stolen items&quot; and &quot;free fentanyl 4 new users&quot; sit atop Joseph Adam Moore's encampment on Ninth Avenue north of Geary Boulevard in San Francisco's Inner Richmond neighborhood." src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" decoding="async" data-nimg="responsive" class="block undefined lazyloaded" style="position:absolute;top:0;left:0;bottom:0;right:0;box-sizing:border-box;padding:0;border:none;margin:auto;display:block;width:0;height:0;min-width:100%;max-width:100%;min-height:100%;max-height:100%;background-size:cover;background-position:0% 0%;filter:blur(20px);background-image:url("data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==")"/></span>Signs reading &#8220;Meth for stolen items&#8221; and &#8220;free fentanyl 4 new users&#8221; sit atop Joseph Adam Moore&#8217;s encampment on Ninth Avenue north of Geary Boulevard in San Francisco&#8217;s Inner Richmond neighborhood. | <span class="sr-only">Source: </span>George Kelly/The Standard</p>
<p>Peter Marlow, a spokesperson for the Archdiocese of San Francisco, said that he was aware of Moore’s encampment but hadn’t seen the signs he had posted.</p>
<p>“I noticed this person is well-established there. They disappeared about a month ago, and now they’ve shown up again,” Marlow said. “I had seen him for the past year before he disappeared, but now he’s back. I don’t know about these signs about fentanyl and all of this.”</p>
<p>Marlow expressed concern about Moore’s presence near the school but deferred to the city when asked about moving his tent.</p>
<p>“We don’t want anything of that nature anywhere near our schools, but we want to be able to work with law enforcement to establish the guidelines,” he said. “The school works with law enforcement and city officials to manage unhoused individuals who are perhaps too close to the students. It’s a frequent thing.”</p>
<p>Marlow said the school would be looking into Moore’s claims that he is selling drugs near the school. He said that police had come to the location multiple times. </p>

<p>A San Francisco police spokesperson said they could not find any incident reports for Moore’s campsite location and there was no arrest record for Moore within the last 90 days.</p>
<p><h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-convicted-pedophile"><strong>Convicted Pedophile</strong></h2>
</p>
<p>California’s Megan’s Law website lists Moore as a San Francisco transient convicted of lewd or lascivious acts with a child under 14 years of age in 1997 and released in 2002. San Francisco Superior Court Documents show Moore has been arrested five times in the city since 2007 for allegedly failing to re-register his address as a sex offender every 30 days. </p>
<p>A Santa Cruz Sentinel article from 1997 reports Moore was convicted of molesting a  12-year-old girl in Santa Clara County before being released from custody and then having sex with a 15-year-old in Santa Cruz behind a set of bathrooms on Seabright Beach.</p>
<p>Moore’s most recent arrest on May 11 also accused him of committing a felony while on bail; The Standard was unable to obtain court records revealing what the felony was or what happened with the case. </p>
<p>Moore claims his child sex offense conviction was due to a bad deal with the Santa Cruz County District Attorney’s Office. (Its spokesperson said Tuesday the office would not provide court records, saying they are exempt from disclosure). Moore said he was 19 and working at Apple at the time and was told that if he pleaded guilty, he would receive a lowered sentence that could be struck from his record if he stayed out of trouble for a year. </p>

<p>“Everything&#8217;s lies, and there&#8217;s no bigger lie than the justice system,” said Moore, who also displayed a sign that said police are corrupt.</p>
<p>When asked if he was actually selling drugs, he chuckled and said he was. </p>
<p>“Yeah, this is actually happening,” Moore said, laughing. “But only because I&#8217;m tired. I&#8217;m tired. If you guys want to flush the whole world down the toilet, if you guys want to ignore people like me, it’s at your own peril. I mean, I&#8217;m a savant. You can&#8217;t f*cking fake that.”</p>
<p>Moore also said that he is the grandson of actor Don DeFore, who is known for his role in the 1950s sitcom The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet and was a friend of President Ronald Reagan. </p>
<p>A public records search suggested that Moore&#8217;s mother shares a name with DeFore&#8217;s daughter. Social media accounts also suggest he is related to DeFore.</p>
<p>The San Francisco Public Defender’s Office said it does not represent Moore in any active cases and could not comment.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p>
<p>The proclamation Friday was reminiscent of Breed’s bold claim in 2021 that the city would crack down on the “bulls— that has destroyed our city,” which she said in announcing an emergency plan to address the drug and overdose crisis in the Tenderloin.</p>
<p>That effort brought together multiple city agencies to ramp up enforcement of dealing, clear sidewalks and offer new public health responses to drug use such as opening what became a supervised consumption site called the Tenderloin Center.</p>
<p>The facility closed at the end of 2022, a few months after Newsom vetoed legislation that would have allowed San Francisco, Los Angeles and Oakland to pilot safe consumption sites. Breed said the plan was only meant to be temporary and, on Friday, added the center “didn’t quite work out.”</p>
<p>Residents wait in line to get into the Tenderloin Linkage Center (also known as the Tenderloin Center), a now-defunct safe consumption site in San Francisco, on Feb. 8, 2022. (Beth LaBerge/KQED)</p>
<p>After the closing of the Tenderloin Center and the emergency plan’s winding down, overdose rates have again increased in 2023, data from the Office of the Medical Examiner shows.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, public safety advocates applauded the governor’s decision to increase law enforcement around the issue, at a time when the San Francisco Police Department is struggling to recruit and retain a full workforce.</p>
<p>“Just the mere presence of our officers we believe will help deter and disrupt criminal activity,” Duryee said.</p>
<p>Newsom said that his plan “will not seek to criminalize those struggling with substance use and instead focus on disrupting the supply fueling the fentanyl crisis by holding drug suppliers and traffickers accountable,” according to a press release on the plan.</p>
<p>But addiction experts and advocates for people who use drugs say the move could nonetheless have unintended consequences, and negatively affect people who struggle with addiction and lack access to housing, health care or other support systems.</p>

<p>SAN FRANCISCO &#8212; As city leaders, attorneys and police debate how to curb the practice of blatant downtown drug trafficking, a local is said to have offered his opinion to police on the issue when they asked him &#8211; again &#8211; on suspicion of distributing Fentanyl arrests .</p>
<p>&#8220;You can grab me a million times and we&#8217;ll get out quick,&#8221; 28-year-old Jackson Torres reportedly told a San Francisco police officer when he was arrested on March 26 for allegedly selling fentanyl on 7th Street.  Torres added that he was not concerned about the arrest.</p>
<p>But for now, at least, Torres is behind bars, where he faces two separate counts — one accusing him of selling fentanyl on March 26, when he was arrested in San Francisco, and another for violating his supervised release from a 2020 conviction for selling fentanyl in San Francisco.  Prosecutors are now using that earlier case and his apparent lack of concern about future prosecutions to argue that Torres should remain in prison until his case is resolved.</p>
<p>The indictment alleges that an officer using binoculars remotely spotted Torres in three separate drug transactions.  When officers arrested him, he allegedly ran away, throwing three bags of drugs in the air as he escaped.  When police caught up with him and arrested him, they claimed he was carrying six ounces of the deadly drug.</p>
<p>According to court documents, following his most recent arrest by federal agents, Torres was charged with possession with intent to distribute fentanyl.  The indictment carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in federal prison, but when Torres was last charged with fentanyl trafficking, he received a much shorter sentence of 12 months and a day in prison and three years of supervised release.  This time, if convicted, federal guidelines recommend a sentence of between 57 and 71 months, with the decision resting solely with the judge.</p>
<p>For years, state and federal officials have raised concerns about downtown drug markets, particularly in the Tenderloin neighborhood, but no one seems to be able to agree on a solution.  Mayor London Breed noted at a recent press conference that &#8220;compassion kills people&#8221; while calling for more arrests, and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis took advantage of the spectacle of the open-air drug markets during a trip to the Bay Area this month as a campaign slot, arguing that California&#8217;s approach to fighting crime softly caused the problem.</p>
<p>On the other hand, many city officials and advocates have argued that an approach focused on arrests and prosecutions would be akin to the so-called War on Drugs, which sapped law enforcement resources but did little more than cut cocaine use &#8211; and heroin production and methamphetamine sales from coast to coast.  In 2020, the US Department of Justice announced the creation of the Federal Initiative in the Tenderloin (FIT) to aggressively prosecute suspected drug dealers.  At the same time, then-district attorney Chesa Boudin urged the opposite, arguing that street drug dealers were being quickly replaced and police should instead focus on identifying large drug dealers.</p>
<p>For Torres, the federal charges are just the latest misadventure in a difficult life.  Court records show he was born and raised in Tegucigalpa, Honduras, but escaped gang violence alone at the age of 17 by boarding a northbound freight train.  He was arrested and detained by federal agents in Arizona and stayed with a relative in Louisiana while seeking asylum in the United States, briefly residing in El Salvador before immigrating back to the United States in 2014 and settling in Oakland.</p>
<p>According to prosecutors, he began selling drugs in the Bay Area that same year and caused the first of 10 arrests between 2014 and March 26 last year.  In March 2020, he was charged in federal court with selling fentanyl, secured bail, then arrested just three months later in an SFPD covert operation.  By the time he pleaded guilty and received his 12-month sentence, he had already served about half of it in custody.</p>
<p>Torres&#8217; attorney said in 2020 he expects Torres to be deported sometime in early 2021 after his release from prison.  Court records don&#8217;t say if that was the case or not, but on January 12, 2023, he was back in San Francisco.  That day, a police officer arrested him on suspicion of possessing 10 ounces of fentanyl for sale, among other drugs.</p>
<p>It was his first of three drug arrests in San Francisco in 2023.</p>

<p>Während einer dramatischen Anhörung am Donnerstag im State Capitol erhielten sieben Fentanyl-Maßnahmen schließlich ein Urteil: Vier Gesetzentwürfe wurden angenommen, aber die beiden umfassendsten scheiterten und ein drittes wurde auf Eis gelegt.</p>
<p>Genau hinschauen: Trauernde Familien, die Angehörige durch eine Fentanylvergiftung verloren haben, genesende Süchtige und Befürworter einer Reform der Strafjustiz.  Um in den beengten Anhörungsraum zu gelangen, standen viele mehr als eine Stunde an, bevor der Ausschuss für öffentliche Sicherheit der Versammlung zusammentrat.</p>
<p>Kellie Amaru aus Willows sagte, sie habe ihren Sohn Ryan im Alter von 27 Jahren durch eine Überdosis Fentanyl verloren und sei vom Komitee enttäuscht.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Bitter</strong>: „Ich fürchte, das ist alles Gerede.  Sie versuchen nur, politische Punkte zu machen.  Sie müssen erkennen, dass einige von uns tatsächlich Wähler sind.“</li>
</ul>
<p>Ein Großteil der Debatte des Ausschusses konzentrierte sich auf eine wichtige politische Entscheidung: Ist es besser, die Fentanylkrise, die 2021 in Kalifornien 5.722 Menschen das Leben kostete, als Problem der öffentlichen Gesundheit zu behandeln?  Oder handelt es sich um einen Notfall für die öffentliche Sicherheit, bei dem härtere Strafen Drogendealer abschrecken könnten?</p>
<p>Während sich die Gesetzgeber einig waren, dass es keine einheitliche Lösung gebe, drängten die Demokraten im Ausschuss die Gesetzesentwürfe zur Erhöhung der Strafen zurück und warnten, dass eine solche Politik die Masseneinkerkerungen nach dem „Krieg gegen die Drogen“ in den 1980er Jahren widerspiegelte, der sich überproportional gegen Schwarze und Latino-Gemeinschaften richtete.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Reggie Jones-Sawyer</strong>, Demokrat aus Los Angeles und Vorsitzender des Komitees: „Ich war Bestatter während der Crack-Kokain-Krise.  Wegen der Crack-Kokain-Krise bin ich im Moment kein Leichenbestatter … Unsere Gemeinschaften wurden durch den Krieg gegen die Drogen dezimiert.“</li>
</ul>
<p>Alle bis auf einen der Rechnungen wurden von Demokraten verfasst.  Aber zwei Gesetzentwürfe zur Erhöhung der Strafen, die nicht vorankamen, wurden nur von den beiden Republikanern im Komitee, Juan Alanis von Modesto und Tom Lackey von Palmdale, unterstützt.  Kurz nach den Abstimmungen kritisierte der republikanische Caucus der Versammlung „radikale Demokraten“, weil sie sich auf die Seite der Drogendealer stellten.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Jim Patterson</strong>Fresno-Republikaner und Autor einer der abgelehnten Gesetzesvorlagen: „Wenn wir uns wirklich um die Süchtigen kümmern, würde es uns dann nicht auch interessieren, dass ihre Dealer auf der Straße immer mehr am laufenden Band sind? … Wenn es keine Konsequenzen gibt, wird es eine Wiederholung geben Versorgung vorhanden.“</li>
</ul>
<p>Die vier verabschiedeten Gesetzentwürfe (die die heutige Frist für die Annahme von Gesetzentwürfen durch die politischen Ausschüsse, die auch den Segen eines Finanzausschusses benötigen, knapp übertroffen haben):</p>
<ul>
<li>AB 33 zur Einrichtung einer Task Force zur Bekämpfung von Fentanylsucht und Überdosierung;</li>
<li>AB 474 zur Priorisierung der Zusammenarbeit zwischen staatlichen und lokalen Strafverfolgungsbehörden zur Bekämpfung des Fentanylhandels;</li>
<li>AB 675, um das Tragen einer Waffe im Besitz von Fentanyl illegal zu machen;</li>
<li>AB 701 zur Erhöhung der Bußgelder für Händler, indem Fentanyl in die gleiche Kategorie wie Heroin und Kokain eingestuft wird.</li>
</ul>
<p>Die drei Rechnungen, die nicht vorgezogen wurden:</p>
<ul>
<li>AB 367, um Strafmaßverbesserungen für diejenigen hinzuzufügen, die durch Fentanylvergiftung schwer verletzen oder töten;</li>
<li>AB 955 zur Erhöhung der Strafen für Händler, die Fentanyl über soziale Medien verkaufen;</li>
<li>AB 1058, um die Strafen für diejenigen zu erhöhen, die eine große Menge Fentanyl besitzen.</li>

<p><strong>Vom Gehäusereporter von CalMatters </strong><strong>Ben Christoph</strong><strong>:</strong></p>
<p>Nach Jahren des Festhaltens an einer Debatte, die die organisierte Arbeiterschaft gespalten und die Fähigkeit der Legislative zur Bewältigung der kalifornischen Wohnungskrise behindert hat, kam der State Building and Construction Trades Council am Mittwoch an den Verhandlungstisch, nur eine Woche nachdem seine Koalition gewerkschaftlich organisierter Bauarbeiter Anzeichen gezeigt hatte des Splitterns.</p>
<p>Seit 2020 hat der Trades Council, eine der beeindruckendsten Stimmen in der staatlichen Wohnungspolitik, darauf bestanden, dass jedes neue Wohnungsbaugesetz Anforderungen an „qualifizierte und ausgebildete Arbeitskräfte“ enthält, die die Wohnungsbauträger zwingen, sicherzustellen, dass ein bestimmter Prozentsatz ihrer Bautrupps vorhanden ist Absolventen von Lehrlingsausbildungsprogrammen.  Mehr als 90 % der Absolventen kommen aus gewerkschaftsgeführten Programmen.</p>
<p>Anfang dieses Jahres stellte der demokratische Senator von San Francisco, Scott Wiener, einen Gesetzentwurf vor, um sein Gesetz von 2017 dauerhaft zu machen, das den Genehmigungsprozess für Wohnungsentwicklungen in vielen Teilen des Bundesstaates beschleunigt.  Version 2.0 des Gesetzentwurfs streicht die Formulierung „qualifizierte und geschulte Arbeitskräfte“ wegen Bedenken, dass es nicht genügend gewerkschaftlich organisierte Bauarbeiter gibt, um die Arbeit zu erledigen.  Der Trades Council forderte ihn auf, die Sprache wieder einzubauen.</p>
<p>Aber als der Regierungs- und Finanzausschuss des Senats am Mittwoch über den Gesetzentwurf debattierte, brachte Beverly Yu, eine Lobbyistin des Handels, eine neue und überraschende Idee vor.</p>
<p>Laut einem von CalMatters erhaltenen Entwurf des neuen „Residential Workforce Standard“-Sprache des Gewerbes würden Entwickler bei beschleunigten Projekten immer noch strengen Einstellungsrichtlinien ausgesetzt sein.  Aber „ausgebildete“ Arbeitnehmer können entweder Absolventen einer Ausbildung oder Nicht-Absolventen mit gleichwertiger Berufserfahrung sein.  Und obwohl Projekte versuchen müssten, eine bestimmte Anzahl von Auszubildenden einzustellen, könnten sie woanders einstellen, wenn keine Auszubildenden verfügbar sind. </p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Ju:</strong> Der neue Standard „beginnt damit, die Probleme anzugehen, die von den Leuten angesprochen wurden, und hilft auch dabei, unsere gemeinsamen Ziele zu erreichen.“</li>
</ul>
<p>Am Donnerstag betonte Yu, dass der Wortlaut des Entwurfs vorläufig sei und sich in den kommenden Wochen ändern könnte.</p>
<p>Aber während der Anhörung am Mittwoch gab Wiener der Idee eine kühle Antwort und betonte, dass er den Vorschlag erst „48 Stunden“ zuvor zum ersten Mal gesehen habe, dass andere Befürworter „Bedenken haben“ und dass der Gesetzentwurf in zwei Fällen seinem nächsten Ausschuss vorgelegt werde anderthalb Wochen.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Wiener:</strong> „Seit drei Jahren bitte ich die Handwerker, an den Tisch zu kommen.  Drei.  Jahre … Ich bin nicht sehr optimistisch, dass wir in zweieinhalb Wochen, nach drei Jahren davon, irgendwie zu dieser Lösung kommen werden.“</li>
</ul>

<p>Für den größten Teil der Welt scheint das Schlimmste der Pandemie gekommen und gegangen zu sein.  Aber von den geschätzten 1,5 Millionen Kaliforniern, die unter langer COVID leiden, sind ihre schwächenden Gesundheitsprobleme noch lange nicht vorbei.</p>
<p>Wie die Gesundheitsreporterin von CalMatters, Kristen Hwang, schreibt, sind die mehr als 200 Symptome, die unter Long COVID fallen, „schlecht definiert“ und vage.  Patienten, die als Langstreckenfahrer bekannt sind, haben Probleme mit Müdigkeit, Durchblutung und Entzündungen. </p>
<p>Aber anders als während des Höhepunkts der Pandemie, als sich alle Regierungsebenen bemühten, die öffentliche Gesundheit zu unterstützen, sind Langstreckenfahrer bei der Suche nach einer Behandlung mit einem Mangel an medizinischen Ressourcen konfrontiert.  Sie werden von Ärzten nicht immer ernst genommen, sie können wegen ihrer Krankheit kein Invaliditätsgeld erhalten und spezialisierte Kliniken sind überlastet und unterbesetzt.</p>
<p>Derzeit gibt es keinen Legislativvorschlag, der sich mit langem COVID befasst.  Ein Budgetantrag zur Erhöhung der Klinikkapazität ist im vergangenen Jahr gestorben, und Pläne, die Maßnahme zu erneuern, sind angesichts des drohenden Staatshaushaltsdefizits zweifelhaft.</p>
<p>Das Gesundheitsministerium des Bundesstaates plant die Einrichtung einer neuen Zweigstelle, die die lange COVID-Forschung unterstützen würde, finanziert durch die Kombination von Geldern aus dem letzten Jahr mit dem Startkapital aus dem langfristigen COVID-19-Bereitschaftsplan des Staates in Höhe von 1,8 Milliarden US-Dollar.  Aber die laufende Finanzierung ist angesichts der Krise des Staatshaushalts dürftig.</p>
<p>Der Kampf um Ressourcen fällt zum größten Teil den Langfahrern selbst oder ihren Familienmitgliedern zu.  Aber das ist ein harter Kampf für diejenigen, die mit der Krankheit zu kämpfen haben. </p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Lisa McCorkell</strong>Mitbegründer des Patient-Led Research Collective: „Eines der großen Probleme bei langem COVID … ist, dass die Menschen, die am motiviertesten sind, etwas dagegen zu unternehmen, die geringste Energie und Fähigkeit haben, eine Szene zu verursachen.“</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>In anderen Gesundheitsnachrichten</strong>: Eine neue staatliche Prüfung bemängelt das kalifornische Gesundheitsministerium bei der Erhebung von Daten zur sexuellen Orientierung und Geschlechtsidentität und sagt, dass die Mängel „seine Fähigkeit eingeschränkt haben, gesundheitliche Unterschiede zu erkennen und anzugehen“, die die LGBTQ-Gemeinschaft betreffen.</p>
<p>Die Prüfung empfiehlt, dass die Abteilung ihre 129 Formulare zum Sammeln demografischer Daten standardisiert und dass der Gesetzgeber das Gesetz ändert, um die Abteilung zu verpflichten, die Informationen zur sexuellen Orientierung von den örtlichen Gesundheitsbehörden zu sammeln und auch einen jährlichen Bericht an die Öffentlichkeit zu verlangen.</p>
<p>Senator Scott Wiener, ein Demokrat aus San Francisco und Autor eines Gesetzes von 2020, das Teil der Prüfung ist, nannte seine Ergebnisse „äußerst besorgniserregend“ und sagte, er erwäge Gesetze zur Umsetzung seiner Ergebnisse.  In einer Erklärung sagte er, dass die Fehler der Abteilung wahrscheinlich ihre Reaktion auf den Ausbruch der Affenpocken im letzten Jahr beeinträchtigten, als schwule und bisexuelle Männer fast alle Fälle ausmachten.</p>
<p>In ihrer Antwort erkennt die Abteilung an, dass sie Verbesserungen vornehmen muss, und verspricht, „sich weiterhin darum zu bemühen, die Einhaltung der Vorschriften bei unseren Datenerfassungsbemühungen und der allgemeinen Nutzung von Daten zu erreichen und zu verbessern, um die gesundheitliche Chancengleichheit in Kalifornien voranzutreiben“.</p>

<p><strong>Vom Umweltreporter von CalMatters </strong><strong>Nadia Lopez</strong><strong>:</strong></p>
<p>Das kalifornische Air Board kam am Donnerstag zu einem zweitägigen Treffen zusammen, um ein Mandat zu erörtern, das weitreichende Auswirkungen auf die Wirtschaft und die Umwelt des Staates haben würde: Es würde den Warentransport im ganzen Staat überarbeiten, indem es den Verkauf neuer Diesel-Big-Rigs bis 2036 verbietet und Umrüstung bestehender Lkw großer Unternehmen auf null Emissionen bis 2042.</p>
<p>Mehr als 160 Personen stellten sich persönlich und virtuell an, um während der Anhörung, die bis in die Nacht hinein dauerte, mit dem California Air Resources Board zu sprechen.  Der Vorstand wird voraussichtlich bis heute Mittag abstimmen. </p>
<p>Als weltweite Premiere würden die Regeln darauf abzielen, Dieselabgase und Treibhausgase zu beseitigen, die von großen Bohrinseln, Müllwagen, Lieferwagen und anderen großen Fahrzeugen ausgestoßen werden, indem sie in Modelle umgewandelt werden, die mit Strom oder Wasserstoff betrieben werden.  Die jahrzehntelange wirtschaftliche Präsenz des Diesels würde beendet, und die Regel würde etwa 1,8 Millionen Lastwagen betreffen, die im ganzen Bundesstaat verkehren. </p>
<p>Gruppen für Umweltgerechtigkeit und Mitglieder der Öffentlichkeit berichteten dem Vorstand von der hohen Belastung durch Dieselabgase in ihren Gemeinden. </p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Tanja González</strong>, ein Anwalt für Umweltgerechtigkeit und Einwohner von Fontana im San Bernardino County: „Wir verdienen etwas Besseres, wir verdienen das Recht auf saubere Luft.  Ich bitte Sie heute, unser Leben über den Profit zu stellen.“ </li>
</ul>
<p>Speditionen, lokale Führungskräfte und Versorgungsunternehmen sagten jedoch, die Fristen seien unerreichbar, da die Technologie neu und teuer sei und mehrere Nachteile habe.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Chris Shimoda</strong>, Senior Vice President der California Trucking Association, einer Branchenhandelsgruppe: „Wenn die Regel voranschreitet … werden Sie viele der gleichen Probleme sehen, die wir während der Pandemie hatten.  Es ist eine Krise in der Lieferkette, die wir selbst verursacht haben.“</li>

<p>					Opfer von Straftaten versammeln sich am Montag, den 24. April 2023, zum Abschluss der Zeremonie für die Rechte der Opfer von Straftaten in Santa Ana. Die Ausschüsse für öffentliche Sicherheit des Senats und der Versammlung waren ein Friedhof für Gesetzesentwürfe zur Erhöhung der Strafen für Fentanyl-Händler.  (Foto von Mindy Schauer, Orange County Register/SCNG)</p>
<p>Die Botschaft aus Sacramento war klar: Mächtige staatliche Gesetzgeber haben keinen Appetit auf eine Rückkehr zum Krieg gegen Drogen, nicht einmal als Mittel zur Bekämpfung der tödlichen Fentanyl-Epidemie.</p>
<p>Seit Jahren plädieren Strafverfolgungsbehörden, Staatsanwälte und Familien von Fentanyl-Opfern für härtere Strafen für Händler des synthetischen Opioids, das 100-mal stärker als Morphin und 50-mal stärker als Heroin ist.  Im Jahr 2021 tötete Fentanyl in Kalifornien 5.722 Menschen, von denen viele dachten, sie würden verschreibungspflichtige Medikamente oder andere Medikamente einnehmen.</p>
<p>Der Friedhof für solche Gesetze waren die Ausschüsse für öffentliche Sicherheit des Senats und der Versammlung, die wiederholt Gesetzesvorlagen abgelehnt haben, die zu mehr Inhaftierungen von Fentanyl-Händlern führen würden.</p>
<p>Am Dienstag, dem 25. April, blinzelte der Senatsausschuss für öffentliche Sicherheit leicht, als er SB 226 genehmigte, was den Besitz von Fentanyl mit einer geladenen, funktionsfähigen Schusswaffe zu einem Verbrechen macht.  Im Grunde erweitert der Gesetzentwurf von Senatorin Marie Alvarado-Gill, D-Jackson, ein bestehendes Gesetz und fügt Fentanyl zu einer Liste weniger schädlicher Medikamente hinzu, die nicht besessen werden dürfen, während man eine Schusswaffe hat.</p>
<h4 class="">Opferfamilien erneut enttäuscht</h4>
<p>Diese Unterscheidung – dass der Ausschuss kein neues Gesetz oder neue Strafen erschuf – wurde von Ausschussmitglied Sen. Scott Wiener, D-San Francisco, betont, als er einen weiteren Gesetzentwurf, SB 44, die neueste Iteration von Alexandra&#8217;s Law, ablehnte.  Die Ausschussabstimmung am Dienstag fand trotz der leidenschaftlichen Bitten von Familien statt, die Bilder von Kindern trugen, die durch Fentanylvergiftung getötet wurden.</p>
<p>Unter dem Alexandra-Gesetz, das dieses Mal von Senator Tom Umberg, D-Santa Ana, vorgeschlagen wurde, würden Händler, die wegen des Verkaufs von Fentanyl verurteilt wurden, eine Warnung erhalten – ähnlich wie die Warnung von Richtern an erstmalig betrunkene Fahrer –, dass sie wegen Totschlags angeklagt werden könnten wenn sie erneut Fentanyl mit Todesfolge verkaufen.</p>
<p>Es war das zweite Mal in diesem Jahr, dass das Komitee Umbergs Gesetzentwurf torpedierte, trotz Änderungen, die darauf abzielten, Komiteemitglieder zu besänftigen.</p>
<p>„Ich bin fassungslos“, sagte Umberg.  „Es ist sehr schwierig, die Ansicht des Ausschusses zu dieser einfachen Ermahnung zu verstehen.  … Es ist entmutigend, dass meine Kollegen die Realität der Epidemie und den Vorteil nicht erkennen, wenn sie wiederholte Fentanyl-Händler stoppen.“</p>
<h4 class="">&#8216;Unbeabsichtigte Konsequenzen&#8217;</h4>
<p>Während der Anhörung sagte Wiener, Umbergs Gesetzentwurf sei zu weit gefasst und würde nicht die Lösung bieten, die die Befürworter suchen.</p>
<p>„Wenn das Gesetz verabschiedet wird, hätte es viele unbeabsichtigte Folgen und würde viele Leute mitreißen, die nicht wussten“, dass sie mit Fentanyl versetzte Medikamente verkauften, sagte Wiener.</p>
<p>Gesetzentwürfe zur Erhöhung der Strafen für den Besitz oder Verkauf von Fentanyl stoßen auf eine Mauer liberaler demokratischer Gesetzgeber, die sagen, dass es keine Abschreckung sei, mehr Menschen ins Gefängnis zu schicken, sondern eine Rückkehr zu gescheiterten Strategien, die in der Vergangenheit hauptsächlich farbige Menschen bestraften.</p>
<p>Steven Bradford, D-Gardena, ein Mitglied des Senatsausschusses, sagte, die Gesetzgeber sollten sich auf die Hersteller konzentrieren, anstatt Straßenhändler weiter zu bestrafen, die möglicherweise nicht wissen, dass ihr Produkt mit Fentanyl gemischt ist.</p>
<p>„Der Fokus sollte auf Kausalität, Prävention und Behandlung liegen“, sagte Bradford kürzlich bei einer Anhörung.  „Wir haben diesen Film schon einmal gesehen.  In den 80er und 90er Jahren, mit Masseneinkerkerungen … Tausende von Schwarzen und Braunen, die lebenslang im Gefängnis saßen, weil sie eine Unze Kokain verkauften, wobei niemand sein Leben verlor.“</p>
<h4 class="">Gesetzgeber: Rasse sollte keine Rolle spielen</h4>
<p>Das Rassenargument fällt bei Senatorin Shannon Grove, R-Bakersfield, ins Wasser, die sah, wie zwei ihrer Rechnungen, die härtere Strafen für den Besitz und Verkauf von Fentanyl forderten, zuvor vom Senatsausschuss abgelehnt worden waren.  Grove und andere, die auf eine Verschärfung der Drogengesetze drängen, sagen, Fentanyl sei farbenblind und tödlicher als jedes Medikament, das jemals an einer Straßenecke verkauft wurde.</p>
<p>„Es ist mir egal, welche Hautfarbe Sie haben, wenn Sie versuchen, unsere Kinder zu töten … dann sollten Sie für eine sehr, sehr lange Zeit ins Gefängnis gehen“, sagte Grove während einer Anhörung des Ausschusses.</p>
<p>Da sich die eine Seite gegen „drakonische“ Anti-Drogen-Strategien auflehnt und die andere Seite darauf besteht, dass Fentanyl-Händler zur Rechenschaft gezogen werden müssen, wird die Debatte am Donnerstag, dem 27. April, in einer Sonderanhörung vor der Versammlung für öffentliche Sicherheit erneut im Mittelpunkt stehen Ausschuss.</p>
<p>Sechs Gesetzentwürfe der Versammlung, die zuvor vom Ausschussvorsitzenden Reginald Jones-Sawyer, D-Los Angeles, zurückgehalten wurden, werden nun angehört.</p>
<p>„Als Vorsitzender für öffentliche Sicherheit hatte ich das Gefühl, dass die Anzahl der in diesem Jahr in meinem Ausschuss behandelten Gesetzentwürfe nicht genügend Zeit bot, um diese Krise in einer Weise zu diskutieren, die ihrer Bedeutung entspricht“, sagte Jones-Sawyer in einer schriftlichen Erklärung.</p>
<h4 class="">Montagerechnungen</h4>
<p>Zu den Vorschlägen, die dem Ausschuss am Donnerstag vorgelegt werden, gehören:</p>
<ul>
<li>AB 33 von Versammlungsmitglied Jasmeet Bains, D-Bakersfield, um eine Task Force zur Prävention von Fentanyl-Sucht und Überdosierung zu gründen.</li>
<li>AB 675 von Versammlungsmitglied Esmeralda Soria, D-Merced, um den Besitz von Fentanyl zu verbieten, während man mit einer geladenen Schusswaffe bewaffnet ist.</li>
<li>Und AB 955 von Parlamentsmitglied Cottie Petrie-Norris, D-Irvine, um die Strafen für den Handel mit Fentanyl über soziale Medien zu erhöhen, indem es mit bis zu neun Jahren Gefängnis bestraft wird.</li>
</ul>
<p>Einige bleiben zweifelhaft, dass der Ausschuss für öffentliche Sicherheit der Versammlung nachgeben wird.</p>
<p>„Die Do-Nothing-Gesetze (Jones-Sawyer) werden sie durchlassen, aber nichts, was irgendwelche Strafen hinzufügt“, sagte Melissa Melendez, eine pensionierte republikanische Staatssenatorin aus Lake Elsinore.  „Das wäre eine 180 für ihn.“</p>
<p>Melendez, jetzt Präsident der Denkfabrik des Golden State Policy Council, hat Alexandras Gesetz zweimal erfolglos durchgesetzt, um es einfacher zu machen, Mordanklagen gegen Händler aufrechtzuerhalten, die Fentanyl mit Todesfolge verkaufen.  Der Vorschlag wurde in dieser Sitzung von Umberg wiederbelebt.</p>
<p>Alexandras Gesetz hätte es Staatsanwälten erlaubt zu argumentieren, dass Dealer, die die Warnung nicht befolgten, „ein verlassenes und bösartiges Herz“ hätten und „eine mutwillige Missachtung des Lebens“ an den Tag legten, was die Voraussetzungen für eine Anklage wegen Totschlags geschaffen hätte.</p>
<h4 class="">Umberg: „Kann es nicht lassen“</h4>
<p>„Ich kann dieses Thema nicht auf sich beruhen lassen“, sagte Umberg, nachdem das Abmahnungsgesetz abgelehnt worden war.  „Ich kann nicht noch mehr Eltern ertragen, die um ihre verlorenen Töchter und Söhne trauern, ohne alles in meiner Macht Stehende zu tun, um diese Fentanylvergiftung zu stoppen.  Ich werde weiterhin mit anderen Maßnahmen zurückkehren.“</p>
<p><img decoding="async" alt="" aria-hidden="true" class="i-amphtml-intrinsic-sizer" role="presentation" src="data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyBoZWlnaHQ9IjI2NjQuNTE2MTI5MDMyMyIgd2lkdGg9IjQwMDAiIHhtbG5zPSJodHRwOi8vd3d3LnczLm9yZy8yMDAwL3N2ZyIgdmVyc2lvbj0iMS4xIi8+"/>Matt Capelouto geht mit der Urne seiner Tochter Alexandra vom Mission Inn in Riverside zum Bundesgebäude und Gerichtsgebäude von George E. Brown Jr. zusammen mit den Unterstützern für die Verurteilung des Mannes, der beschuldigt wird, Fentanyl verkauft zu haben, das sie getötet hat Montag, 27. Februar 2023. (Foto von Anjali Sharif-Paul, The Sun/SCNG)</p>
<p>Die Rechnung wurde nach Alexandra Capelouto benannt, die einige Tage vor Weihnachten 2019 Fentanyl in Temecula überdosierte, nachdem sie Percocet eingenommen hatte, was sie für möglich hielt.</p>
<p>Umbergs Vorschlag wurde von Sen. Rosilicie Ocho Bogh, R-Yucaipa, mitverfasst, die auch stellvertretende Vorsitzende des Ausschusses für öffentliche Sicherheit ist.  Während einer kürzlichen Anhörung zu einer anderen Fentanyl-Rechnung sagte Bogh, ihre Kollegen seien den Händlern gegenüber übermäßig mitfühlend gewesen.</p>
<p>„Ich bitte dieses Komitee, damit zu beginnen, eine Botschaft an Menschen zu senden, die sich dieses Mitgefühl zunutze machen“, sagte sie.</p>
<p>Aber Gesetzgeber und Aktivisten, die sagen, dass längere Haftstrafen nicht funktionieren, sind ungerührt.</p>
<h4 class="">Falsch auf Bestrafung ausgerichtet</h4>
<p>Cristine Soto DeBerry, Exekutivdirektorin der progressiven Prosecutors Alliance of California, sagte, die meisten Fentanyl-bezogenen Gesetzentwürfe hätten sich fälschlicherweise auf die Bestrafung konzentriert.</p>
<p>„Wir haben das versucht, als Crack-Kokain ein großes Problem war, wir haben es versucht, als Heroin ein großes Problem war … es ist schmerzhaft, dass wir sehen, wie diese Lösungen im Jahr 2023 vorgeschlagen werden, als sie 1983 nicht funktionierten“, sagte DeBerry und bezog sich darauf der sogenannte War on Drugs.</p>
<p>DeBerry sagte, solche Gesetzesentwürfe würden die Rassenunterschiede schüren, ohne der öffentlichen Sicherheit zu nützen.</p>
<p>„Ich befürworte nicht, dass es keine Konsequenzen geben sollte“, sagte sie.  „(Aber) eine auf Bestrafung ausgerichtete Strategie führt nicht zu einem reduzierten Drogenkonsum.  … Wir tun niemandem einen Gefallen, indem wir uns weiterhin auf die Brust schlagen und sagen, dass es uns dorthin bringen wird, wenn es das nicht tut.“</p>
<p>DeBerry sagte, sie plädiere nicht gegen die Bestrafung von Drogendealern, beharre aber darauf, dass es dafür bereits genügend Gesetze gibt.</p>
<h4 class="">„Krieg gegen die Mörder“</h4>
<p>Der Bezirksstaatsanwalt von Orange County, Todd Spitzer, sagt, dass die derzeitigen Gesetze nicht weit genug gehen, um die Wildheit von Fentanyl zu bekämpfen.</p>
<p>„Diese Gesetzgeber (die Fentanyl-Gesetze blockieren) sind totale Feiglinge und ich habe die Nase voll von der BS-Entschuldigung, dass sie den ‚Krieg gegen die Drogen&#8217; nicht wiederholen wollen“, sagte Spitzer in einem Interview.  „Ich glaube, wenn Sie Drogendealer einsperren, können wir die Todesfälle durch Fentanyl reduzieren.  … Dies ist kein Krieg gegen Drogen, dies ist ein Krieg gegen Mörder.“</p>
<p>In Orange County – unter Spitzers Anleitung – warnen einige Polizisten und Staatsanwälte bereits erstmalige Drogendealer, dass weitere Verkäufe zu Mordanklagen führen könnten, wenn jemand stirbt.  Aber viele Richter werden die Ermahnung nicht akzeptieren, weil sie nicht durch staatliche Gesetze sanktioniert ist.</p>
<p>„Ich habe es satt, mit der Ineffektivität der Legislative herumzuspielen“, sagte Spitzer.</p>
<p>Staatsanwälte in Riverside County und San Francisco haben ebenfalls damit begonnen, die Warnung selbst herauszugeben.</p>
<p>Der Sheriff von Tulare County, Mike Boudreaux, Präsident der California State Sheriffs&#8217; Association, sagte, die Gesetzgeber müssten einen Weg finden, ihre philosophischen Differenzen beiseite zu legen.</p>
<p>„Ich würde hoffen, dass jemand sieht, dass diese Politik Leben gefährdet“, sagte Boudreaux.  „Es wird Tote geben“</p>
<h4 class="">Hybridrechnung erforderlich</h4>
<p>Boudreaux sagte, die Antwort bestünde darin, eine Art Hybrid anzubieten, der strengere Strafen mit mehr Sozialleistungen im Gefängnis kombiniert und am Ende die Chance bietet, das Verbrechen aus der Akte eines Dealers wegen geringen Besitzes von Fentanyl und Straßenhandel zu streichen.</p>
<p>„Wenn Sie sie nur ins Gefängnis stecken, da stimme ich zu, werden Sie sich nicht durch Arrest aus der Sache herausholen“, sagte er.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" alt="" aria-hidden="true" class="i-amphtml-intrinsic-sizer" role="presentation" src="data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyBoZWlnaHQ9IjI5NDEuOTM1NDgzODcxIiB3aWR0aD0iNDAwMCIgeG1sbnM9Imh0dHA6Ly93d3cudzMub3JnLzIwMDAvc3ZnIiB2ZXJzaW9uPSIxLjEiLz4="/>Perla Mendoza von Seal Beach hält ein Bild ihres Sohnes Elijah Figueroa, der an einer Fentanylvergiftung gestorben ist.  (Foto von Mindy Schauer, Orange County Register/SCNG)</p>
<p>Perla Mendoza gehört zu den Eltern von Kindern, die durch Fentanyl getötet wurden und die wiederholt nach Sacramento gereist sind, um vor den Gesetzgebern zu plädieren.  Und jedes Mal kehrt sie frustriert und mit gebrochenem Herzen nach Hause nach Seal Beach zurück.</p>
<p>Ihr 20-jähriger Sohn, Elijah Figueroa, war ein Süchtiger, der bei einem Straßenhändler für 300 Dollar 15 verschreibungspflichtige Xanax-Pillen kaufte, die er für 300 Dollar hielt.  Er starb 2020 im Haus seiner Großmutter in Long Beach, nachdem er nur eine Pille mit Fentanyl eingenommen hatte.</p>
<p>Mendoza, ein ehemaliger Drogen- und Alkoholberater, hat alle Argumente gegen härtere Strafen für Fentanyl gehört.  Keiner, sagt sie, hält Wasser.</p>
<h4 class="">Dealer „spielen Gesellschaft“</h4>
<p>„Indem Sie ihnen erlauben, ihr Geschäft wie gewohnt fortzusetzen, setzen Sie Serienmörder auf“, sagte sie.  „Es ist so entmutigend.  (Händler) wissen genau, womit sie davonkommen können.  Sie spielen Gesellschaft.“</p>
<p>Das Gefängnis, sagte sie, könnte eine gute Sache für Dealer und Süchtige sein, ein Ort, um clean zu werden, ein Ort, um sie davon abzuhalten, einen Mord zu begehen, indem sie mehr Fentanyl verkaufen.</p>
<p>Und ja, sagte Mendoza, härtere Strafen könnten mehr ethnische Minderheiten hinter Gitter bringen.</p>
<p>„Entweder werden die Gefängnisse wieder mit Farbigen gefüllt oder die Leichenhallen.“</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p>
<p>Tika Hall was at a music show in San Francisco&#8217;s Mission District in February when around 10 p.m. someone shouted, &#8220;Anybody got narcan?&#8221;</p>
<p>Hall, who is an artist, musician, and longtime San Francisco resident, understood that this meant someone had overdosed and that their survival might depend on finding Narcan, a naloxone nasal spray that reverses opioid overdoses.</p>
<p>Hall and a friend ran to the nearest bar, one of the few places still open that might carry it.</p>
<p>&#8220;When I go into crisis mode, I get a lizard brain, and I was like, &#8216;What we have to do is get this thing,'&#8221; Hall said.</p>
<p>When the first bar didn&#8217;t have Narcan, they tried the next one, The Eagle, which did.  The bartender gave them the medicine without asking, and the narcan was used to revive the person who overdosed.</p>
<p>On April 11, 2023, a damage reduction box designed by Josh Yule hangs on the wall at the Mothership Bar in San Francisco.  (Beth LaBerge/KQED)</p>
<p>&#8220;If that happened somewhere where there wasn&#8217;t a bar selling Narcan nearby, or if that happened during the day when a bar wasn&#8217;t open, I don&#8217;t know what would have happened,&#8221; Hall said.</p>
<p>Now Hall carries Narcan with him everywhere, and the incident underscores the importance of making the antidote available to the public in places like bars.  Two hundred people fatally overdosed in San Francisco in the first three months of this year (PDF), and nationwide there has been a steep rise in accidental overdoses as other illicit drugs &#8212; such as cocaine and methamphetamines &#8212; have been increasingly laced with fentanyl.</p>
<p>Bay Area bar owners, employees and advocates are taking the initiative to ensure the safety of guests and the community.  The nonprofit FentCheck brings Narcan and fentanyl test strips to bars and other common areas, and bars stock the life-saving drugs and host administration training sessions.  Those campaigning for nightlife harm reduction say the effort has also opened a needed conversation about the risks and realities of drug use.</p>
<h2>Harm reduction boxes provide &#8216;a beacon for conversation&#8217;</h2>
<p>This drive to reduce stigma and save lives is why Josh Yule has been building harm reduction boxes and has been shipping them to bars since December.  The light, medicinal-white boxes contain Narcan;  a neon pink three-step administration guide;  and fentanyl test strips.</p>
<p>Yule, a former bartender at The Knockout who still books shows there, makes the boxes at a friend&#8217;s wood shop in San Leandro.  To date, nine San Francisco facilities are hosting the boxes, including The Knockout, The Phone Booth, The Make Out Room and Mothership.</p>

(Beth LaBerge/KQED)</p>
<p>Each box is dedicated to Yule&#8217;s mother, Roberta Damron, who fatally overdosed on fentanyl in 2021.  He signs the inside doors of the boxes &#8220;For Mom&#8221;.</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s there to save lives.  First and foremost, it does,&#8221; Yule said.  &#8220;But it&#8217;s also there so people can talk to each other.  People can feel safe knowing it&#8217;s there.”</p>
<p>Yule said his mother&#8217;s death at the age of 66 came as a shock.  His mother was religious, straight forward and hilarious.</p>
<p>&#8220;She was great,&#8221; Yule said.</p>
<p>He recalled how, when he was in middle school, his mother tore down a poster in his room of Sid Vicious, the Sex Pistols bassist who died of a drug overdose.</p>
<p>&#8220;She would be really embarrassed that she died like that.  I just know that.  And I think about it a lot,&#8221; Yule said.  &#8220;I never really understood what was going on.  Maybe I didn&#8217;t really want to understand.  I&#8217;ll find out.&#8221;</p>
<p>Yule had studied graphic design at the California College of the Arts when he decided to put his energies into work focused on destigmatizing opioid use disorders.</p>

(Beth LaBerge/KQED)</p>
<p>He designed posters and stickers, but also wanted to create something physical that could become a &#8220;beacon of conversation.&#8221;  The harm reduction boxes became his thesis project.</p>
<p>Before his mother&#8217;s death, Yule had also lost two friends to fatal overdoses.</p>
<p>“We should destigmatize this disorder.  It&#8217;s the only way to get anywhere.  We&#8217;re just taking baby steps,&#8221; Yule said.  &#8220;I wish there was something that would entice me to talk to my friend or something that I would have seen.  Maybe he would still be there.  Maybe I would have put two and two together with my mother.”</p>
<h2>Bar staff train and prepare for emergencies</h2>
<p>Then, last winter, bar staff and parishioners were urged into action after a string of near-fatal overdoses at bars in the Mission District.  Anita Ellis, a bartender at The Phone Booth and Pop&#8217;s Bar, organized a training session for all interested bartenders to learn more about Narcan and fentanyl test strips.</p>
<p>At least 50 people turned out for The Knockout&#8217;s December practice, many more than a similar practice Ellis had organized years earlier.</p>
<p>&#8220;I felt a lot of community spirit, that &#8216;let&#8217;s take care of each other&#8217; feeling,&#8221; Ellis said.  &#8220;The idea of ​​someone losing their life because they want to take a little smack in the bathroom because it&#8217;s their birthday or whatever or no occasion at all, that&#8217;s ridiculous to me.  That should not happen.&#8221;</p>

(Beth LaBerge/KQED)</p>
<p>Yule spoke about the harm reduction boxes during the event, and about 20 people signed up for it.  He&#8217;s still working through that list, and more people have signed up since then.  He also wants to expand into restaurants and hopes to gain enough traction for the city or state to take over to continue the effort.</p>
<p>Joanna Lioce, Human Resources Manager at Vesuvio Cafe in North Beach, picked up one of the harm reduction boxes during this training session.  Years ago, in response to overdoses in the alley outside the bar, Vesuvio employees were trained to administer Narcan.  Lioce was able to undo an overdose in the alley with Narcan.</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s like anything &#8212; if you see someone fall into a pool and you can get out and save them, you will,&#8221; Lioce said.</p>
<p>She says Narcan is essential for bars in the age of fentanyl, like carrying a fire extinguisher.</p>
<p>Yule&#8217;s boxes warn guests that Narcan is available in case of emergencies.</p>

(Beth LaBerge/KQED)</p>
<p>“We all kind of sound like grannies now.  At least my friends and I say, &#8216;In my day you could buy cocaine in the Tenderloin and you didn&#8217;t even have to bother with it.&#8217;  Now it&#8217;s like, &#8216;No, you can&#8217;t do that,'&#8221; Lioce said.</p>
<p>But there are still barriers to accessing Narcan for free, and Yule said one of the biggest challenges in completing his project was figuring out where to get Narcan.  Now he goes to the city&#8217;s Community Behavioral Health Services pharmacy where the public can get Narcan for free.</p>
<h2>A potential political solution and supply barriers</h2>
<p>A bill by Member of Parliament Matt Haney, Assembly Bill 24, could require libraries, gas stations, residential hotels and bars in areas hit hardest by drug overdoses to carry Narcan or face a $100 fine.</p>
<p>“There is enough Narcan to put in all of these facilities and also to get into the hands of organizations that work directly with people who use drugs.  They really need to be in both places,&#8221; Haney said in an interview.  &#8220;And we must stop doing this if we are going to save lives.&#8221;</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p>
<p>Gov. Gavin Newsom on Friday announced a new plan involving the California National Guard and other agencies to combat San Francisco&#8217;s fentanyl crisis.</p>
<p>&#8220;This is definitely a step in the right direction,&#8221; said Mayor London Breed.  &#8220;I&#8217;ve reached out to our governor, I&#8217;ve reached out to Speaker Nancy Pelosi and others, and indeed our governor has responded with what I believe has been tremendous support.&#8221;</p>
<p>This support comes with an agreement between the California Highway Patrol, the California National Guard, the San Francisco Police Department and the San Francisco District Attorney to work together to combat the ongoing crisis.</p>
<p>Cooperation between all four agencies will focus on &#8220;shutting down the fentanyl trade and disrupting the supply of the deadly drug in the city by holding accountable the operators of large-scale drug trafficking operations.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Help from the National Guard and from the CHP to coordinate and work with our police and prosecutors to help us address challenges surrounding our open-air drug trade, primarily in the Tenderloin and South of Market neighborhoods of San Francisco,” said Breed.</p>
<p>The announcement comes just two days after the governor made an unannounced stop in the tenderloin to get a first-hand look at the problem.    </p>
<p>&#8220;We are taking action,&#8221; Gov. Gavin Newsom said.  &#8220;Through this new collaborative partnership, we are providing increased resources and manpower to law enforcement agencies to address crime associated with the fentanyl crisis, hold poison traffickers to account, and increase law enforcement presence to maintain public safety and public confidence in.&#8221; to improve San Francisco.”</p>
<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re making arrests day in and day out but it&#8217;s really hard to hold our own and we need to get it under control and that&#8217;s what we intend to do.  So we&#8217;re going to do it the San Francisco way with San Francisco values, but the help is badly needed,&#8221; said Bill Scott, San Francisco Police Commissioner.</p>
<p>He explained what the police are facing and reassured who is being targeted.</p>
<p>&#8220;I want to reassure the public that we are policing the way we policing, with dignity and respect, and working with our community,&#8221; Scott said.</p>
<p>Newsom said the effort would not criminalize those struggling with drug problems but would rather focus on drug suppliers and dealers.</p>
<p>Few details have been released as of how the new troops would be deployed and when that would begin.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p>
<p>San Francisco will open a drug sobering center on Monday where people on the streets can temporarily ride out highs and get connected to treatment, the latest initiative to address the overdose crisis and complaints about drug use on city streets.</p>
<p>The center, called SOMA RISE, will operate out of a former office building the city is leasing at 1076 Howard St. in the South of Market Neighborhood, one of the epicenters of the drug crisis, along with the Tenderloin.</p>
<p>It will have 20 beds where people from the Tenderloin and SoMa are expected to stay between four and 12 hours, longer if necessary.  People can access beds and chairs, bathrooms and showers, food and water, clothes and connections to “services and housing support,” according to information online.</p>
<p>The city designed the center in 2019 to mainly serve users of methamphetamine, which can cause bad reactions including paranoia or hallucinations and can prompt aggressive behavior.  The increase in meth use over the last decade contributed to skyrocketing overdose deaths and flooded San Francisco&#8217;s emergency rooms with people in a mental health crisis.  The center will also help users of the powerful opioid fentanyl, a factor in a majority of the city&#8217;s more than 1,300 overdose deaths over the past two years, and other drugs.</p>
<p>The program will be voluntary.  People can walk in or be transported by ambulance or city outreach teams that respond to people who are homeless or in mental health crises.</p>
<p>Staff on site will monitor participants&#8217; vital signs, respond to and reverse overdoses and help them find and navigate services.  Once people come down from their highs, staff can transport them to their next destination, such as a shelter, treatment program, medical clinic or “home location,” information said online.  The site will be run by nonprofit drug treatment provider HealthRight360, but funded by the city.</p>
<p>The center will initially be open daily from 8 am to 8 pm and scale up to 24 hours a day.</p>
<p>Officials hope the opening of the long-awaited drug sobering center — after three years of planning — will provide long-term solutions to people suffering from addiction and reduce the number of people acting erratically or dangerously while high on the streets.</p>
<p>“The rise in drug use and overdoses in San Francisco shows that we have to take action and try new things to get people the help they need,” Breed said in a statement in June 2021. “Opening a sobering center provides our outreach teams with a place to take someone who shouldn&#8217;t be left alone on the street where they can sober up, settle down, and get connected to other services.”</p>
<p>The need is far greater than 20 beds: In the last comprehensive count in 2019, the city counted 4,000 people who struggled with substance use, mental illness and homelessness.</p>
<p>The 18-month pilot program finally comes to fruition as San Francisco continues to try to grapple with reducing public drug use and fatal overdoses.  The center&#8217;s opening follows Mayor London Breed&#8217;s emergency declaration in the Tenderloin in December to address the overdose crisis.  It also comes a week after the news that the centerpiece of the emergency &#8211; a drop-in center to connect people to services in UN Plaza &#8211; will close at the end of the year.</p>
<p>The Tenderloin center was meant to help people get off the streets, receive basic services and find long-term housing and treatment, but critics took issue with the city allowing drugs use in the outdoor area of ​​the center, saying it enabled addiction.  Supporters said it provided a low-barrier space for people to get help.</p>
<p>The debate could be reigned at the sobering center.  Last year, the city said people would not be allowed to use drugs at the new sobering center, but would not be kicked out if they were caught using them.</p>
<p>Tom Wolf, a recovery advocate, said he wanted to reserve judgment on the sobering center to see how it goes.  He supported the idea three years ago, but was more hesitant after the city allowed drug use at the Tenderloin center, which he opposed as counterproductive to recovery.</p>
<p>“I appreciate the fact that (the city) is trying to do something to address drugs and people in crisis,” he said.  &#8220;I&#8217;m not 100% sold that this low-barrier approach where they give people a space to use dope, when it&#8217;s not a clinical setting like a drug consumption site, is really the best approach.&#8221;</p>
<p>He expects all the beds will be full, but said the key is to see what happens after visitors leave the center.</p>
<p>&#8220;What happens to that human being?&#8221;  he asked.</p>
<p>The federal government prohibits supervised drug consumption sites staffed by medical professionals, but New York City has opened two.  City officials, including Breed, have been talking for years about also opening a consumption site in San Francisco similar to New York&#8217;s, but the plan hasn&#8217;t moved forward, frustrating harm reduction advocates.</p>
<p>Her spokesman Jeff Cretan said Tuesday the city was still talking with the Department of Justice as they worked through “very real issues.”  He said it was &#8220;an option&#8221; to have a nonprofit run the site, as New York does, to avoid liability, but the city was still &#8220;working with the federal government and finding a path forward.&#8221;</p>
<p>The city started planning the drug sobering center in 2019, but the pandemic delayed the planned opening in 2020. The city announced last June that the center would open in the fall.  It wasn&#8217;t immediately clear why the opening was yet again delayed.</p>
<p>Supervisor Rafael Mandelman, who co-chaired the city&#8217;s meth task force, which recommended opening such a site in 2019, told the Chronicle in the spring of 2021 that while he was glad the site was in the works, he was concerned about delays and that this tiny pilot wouldn&#8217;t be enough to meet the needs.</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m sure we&#8217;re going to find that we need more than just one,&#8221; he said at the time.</p>
<p>Information online about the center said experts are developing criteria to evaluate the program&#8217;s effectiveness, which will guide improvements and “may support initiatives to create additional drug crisis response centers in other neighborhoods where we know the need exists.”</p>
<p>The program&#8217;s costs, what long-term services would be offered and other details weren&#8217;t immediately available Tuesday.</p>
<p>This is a developing story.  Check back for updates.
