Drug Abuse and Addiction

Mothers Protest SF Safe Injection Site

IT’S COMPLICATED –

Feb. 4, 2022 – Mothers Against Drug Deaths will protest outside the center at 8 a.m. Saturday to demand that city officials shut down an area of the center where supervised drug use is taking place. 

“It’s like having an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting in an open bar,” said mother Michelle Leopold. Leopold lost her 18-year-old son, Trevor, to fentanyl in 2019 after he struggled with addiction for several years.

Allowing open air drug abuse in the same place where addicts are trying to get clean and sober is “totally inappropriate and must stop immediately,” the group wrote. 

“Mayor Breed needs a better strategy if she is serious about solving the humanitarian crisis on our streets,” the group wrote.
