A Bay Area mother and her son are the poster people on a new mobile billboard campaign taking aim at President Biden - calling on him to say and say 'no' to safe injection sites -- the president's own son, Hunter, having battled drug addiction.
The drug overdose crisis is killing on average 50 people a month in San Francisco each month and some see safe injection sites as part of the solution. These are places people can go to use their drugs under supervision - in case of an overdose.
Vancouver, Canada, is home to the first safe injection site in North America established nearly 20 years ago. It has overseen more than 3.5 million injections, and reversed more than 6,000 overdoses, and reported no deaths.Despite being illegal in the United States, a nonprofit in New York City is operating two privately-funded safe injection sites; a model San Francisco could soon follow.
