Join us for a conversation that will explore bridging the growing gap between two points of view: one arguing for the best clinical outcomes for the drug-addicted, and another seeking to balance the interests of small business owners and families through a greater focus on recovery from drug addiction.

SPEAKERS:

Maia Szalavitz is a contributing opinion writer for The New York Times, whose work for decades has centered around addiction and 'harm reduction'. She is the author, most recently, of “Undoing Drugs: The Untold Story of Harm Reduction and the Future of Addiction.”

Erica Sandberg is a financial journalist who has been published in Forbes Advisor, MSN, Daily Mail, USA Today, CNBC, New York Post, SFGate, U.S. News & World Report, Yahoo Finance, Chicago Tribune, and more. She lives in San Francisco and through her Substack, The Sandberg Times, chronicles the city’s most pressing social issues, in particular, open drug use and street homelessness.

John Rothman, author, lecturer, professor, and former KGO Radio talk show host, will moderate this important discussion.
