Join us Wed/20 for a discussion on overdose prevention in queer nightlife

LGBTQ+ nightlife community activists and health experts come together to help make partying safer.

In queer bars and clubs across the city, drag queens, venue owners, DJs, bartenders and others in nightlife are on the front lines of the overdose crisis—stepping up to educate partygoers, spread the word about naloxone, and make their nightlife spaces safer.

Join the San Francisco Entertainment Commission, the San Francisco AIDS Foundation, and a great panel of nightlife community activists at the Stud, Wed/20, 6pm-8pm, for a riveting discussion about overdose prevention in the LGBTQ party scene. Overdose Prevention After Dark: Bring your questions, concerns, and hope for the future!

Moderated by Marke B (that’s me!), publisher and Arts Editor of 48 Hills, longtime nightlife journalist, and co-owner of the Stud.

Panelists:
– Kochina Rude, Drag Queen & Harm Reduction Advocate
– Dylan Rice, Project & Communications Manager, San Francisco Entertainment Commission
– Maria Davis, Co-owner of The Stud, Owner of St. Mary’s Pub, SF Entertainment Commission – Industry Representative
– Joseph Pred, Founder, Mutual Aid Response Services and Burning Man Emergency Services Dept.
