NEW: A drug crackdown in the Tenderloin that was supposed to encourage people into treatment focused heavily on Latinx people, yet jails offered English programs only. Service providers for Latinx inmates demanded access to the jails at last week's Sheriff’s Oversight Board meeting. This week, a Spanish recovery program was launched. But some longtime jail workers give it less than 2 weeks.

Court reporters leaving the profession continues to outpace new hires. A California bill that would allow electronic recording in the courtroom has now expired. Litigants in civil court often represent themselves and without a transcript or other record of the proceedings, further action can be difficult.
"This is an important issue for me as a survivor of domestic violence, as an advocate for victims and as an advocate of working families." - CA State Senator Susan Rubio

With a court reporter shortage across California, Senator Susan Rubio introduced a bill to allow electronic recording in place of transcripts. Records of proceedings are used in appeals cases, but the clock has run out on SB 662.

NEW: Fentanyl-related deaths among teens more than tripled in the U.S. in recent years. 2/3rds of them had someone nearby who didn’t respond.
In this 6th and final episode of "San Francisco and the Overdose Crisis," we hear how people are learning how to help when someone is overdosing.
"I think it’s really important, especially in our school and at my age, that we should be teaching our students how this is performed." -Burton HS student Jennifer Mendoza, who participates in a program that teaches students how to recognize drug abuse and reverse overdoses.
The DOPE project & the SF Department of Public Health launched a peer-responder program for people living in permanent supportive housing.
"It feels like I’m useful, like I have a sense of purpose. I’m actually helping within the community." -Susan Lefever, SRO resident.https://www.sfpublicpress.org/sf-students-sro-residents-train-to-reverse-drug-overdoses/

UPDATE: The siblings who were violently removed from their grandmother's Santa Cruz home last year, Maya and Sebastian, are back with their father and celebrating Piqui's law passing in California. The law prohibits family court judges from forcing kids into reunification camps and ensures that judges and those serving as expert witnesses undergo critical training on domestic violence and child custody.
