A Way Out of the Overdose Crisis
Friday, June 7, 2024
7:00pm in Brava’s Cabaret
Una salida a la crisis de las sobredosis, con familiares de sobrevivientes de drogadicción, trabajadores de primera línea que están ayudando a salvar vidas, y a los funcionarios de salud pública que están abordando la crisis. La crisis de las drogas en San Francisco ha empeorado rápidamente a medida que 2023 se convirtió en el año más mortífero por sobredosis de drogas en la ciudad, en medio de un aumento nacional del fentanilo. Como parte culminante de la serie especial de radio "Bridging the Gap", Radio Bilingüe se está asociando con el Teatro Brava del Distrito de la Misión para convocar a un foro comunitario en el corazón del barrio de San Francisco con familiares de sobrevivientes de drogadicción, trabajadores de primera línea que que están ayudando a salvar vidas, y a los funcionarios de salud pública que están abordando la crisis. ¿Qué hay detrás de esta nueva crisis de sobredosis de drogas? ¿Qué se ha hecho para invertir en tratamiento de drogas en las zonas más afectadas? ¿Qué nuevos enfoques se están probando para reducir el daño?
El foro comunitario de una hora de duración, presentado en español por Chelis López de Línea Abierta, se llevará a cabo ante una audiencia en vivo en el Teatro Brava el próximo viernes 7 de junio de 7 p.m. a 8 p.m.
El patrocinador del evento gratuito es Radio Bilingüe en colaboración con Teatro Brava.
ENGLISH
A Way Out of the Overdose Crisis, with family members of survivors of drug addiction, frontline workers who are helping save lives, and public health officials who are tackling the crisis. San Francisco's drug crisis has quickly worsened as 2023 became the city's deadliest year for drug overdoses, amid a national rise of fentanyl. As culminating part of the special radio series "Bridging the Gap," Radio Bilingüe is teaming up with the Mission District's Brava Theater to convene a community forum in the heart of the San Francisco barrio with family members of survivors of drug addiction, frontline workers who are helping save lives, and public health officials who are tackling the crisis. What's behind this new drug overdose crisis? What's been done to invest in drug treatment in the worst-hit areas? What new approaches are being tested to reduce harm?
The one-hour-long community forum, hosted in Spanish by Línea Abierta's Chelis López, will be held before a live audience at the Brava Cabaret next Friday, June 7, from 7 PM to 8 PM.
The sponsor of the free-of-charge event is Radio Bilingüe in collaboration with Brava Cabaret.

ABOUT INDÓMITAS
Indómitas is a live podcast series hosted by Chelis López of KPOO and Radio Bilingüe, featuring interviews with fierce women artists and activists
Each month in Brava’s Cabaret, Indómitas will interview female singers, writers, poets, activists, artists, journalists, filmmakers, and others – some well-known and some deserving to be – for live broadcast. These 60-minute conversations will cover the women’s stories of achievement, pitfalls, and hopes for their futures.
Be ready for open and honest conversations, where intimacy fosters the sharing of joy, fear, acceptance, and ultimately, the strength of women. It’s our time to be the ones who narrate our stories of who we are, what we do, what matters to us and how we organized and stand up for our rights.
Indómitas Podcast Series will be available through Chelis López’ website, and other platforms.
