(♪♪) i'm getting vaccinated with pfizer's pneumococcal pneumonia vaccine. so am i. because i'm at risk for pneumococcal pneumonia. come on. i already got a pneumonia vaccine, but i'm asking about the added protection of prevnar 20®. if you're 19 or older with certain chronic conditions like asthma, diabetes, copd, or heart disease, or are 65 or older, you are at increased risk for pneumococcal pneumonia. prevnar 20® is approved in adults to help prevent infections from 20 strains of the bacteria

that cause pneumococcal pneumonia. in just one dose. don't get prevnar 20® if you've had a severe allergic reaction to the vaccine or its ingredients. adults with weakened immune systems may have a lower response to the vaccine. the most common side effects were pain and swelling at the injection site, muscle pain, fatigue, headache, and joint pain. i want to be able to keep my plans. i don't want to risk ending up in the hospital with pneumococcal pneumonia. that's why i chose prevnar 20®. ask your doctor or pharmacist about the pfizer vaccine for pneumococcal pneumonia. today. we're talking about a said for dogs. it's been found in fetid it's call. meditate. toma, dean and federal officials say it's

linked to a spike in overdoses in cities like philadelphia. pittsburgh and chicago. it's just the latest challenge in the fight against fentanyl. and the battle isn't just on the streets for grieving mothers are trying to change state laws after they lost their children when they took prescription. laced with fentanyl. california investigative correspondent julie watts shows. us how they're using a new tool designed to help everyday californians. hold lawmakers accountable. >political insiders and lawmakers. know how things work inside these walls. but now you can find out to and that power at your fingertips. could change the way things work here at the state capitol. cried all 3 times. i told that story yesterday. i mean, sort of sisterhood. he was that let go to the fire academy. no 1 would ever choose to join 3 weeks before he died at that desk. i was with him at that desk, finalizing his applications for the ucs. exact deserves to know

where he would have gotten in lost a child. over the past few years. poisoned by a fentanyl laced prescription pill. she has that kind of heart that would want to help others. and so as her mom, that's what i need to do now. these unintended unintentional activists now find purpose and working to save other parents from the same face. speaking to students at schools. and lawmakers at the state capitol. but the more they learn about state government this legislative process can be overwhelming to navigate and mystifying. secretive, it seems this really gives you this roadmap enter digital democracy, new website and a i search tool from the nonpartisan nonprofit newsroom cal matters. the website is connected to a database run by cal poly that includes every bill introduced every vote cast. every word spoken by every lawmaker lobby. just an advocate created to help everyday people like you and these moms find out what's really happening inside. these walls. intrigued and i'm also appalled by what i've learned,

for instance, a simple search for laura did years name reveals every hearing. she's been too efforts, including this 1. i was shocked closely. here in white is the powerful senate public safety chair. bay area senator aisha wahaha chair. thank you for your time. name is thora did hear a reflection here is laura chokes back tears in his bedroom and here moments later, senator wahab gets up and walks out while laura describes the most painful moment of her life expressions behind her speak volumes. i just thought if my son doesn't deserve two minutes of your time. when you were elected to be here speak are only allowed 2 minutes certainly want a grieving mother has 40 seconds left to speak. maybe not. that's not the best time to make your exit. i mean, how callous that is not what we're expecting. or what we want from our lawmakers. senator wahabi. ahab's staff would not tell us why she walked out, but it's what digital democracy revealed about alexandra zloty. law that

has these moms even more concerned. supporters. lawmakers didn't even bother to vote. named after a southern california a college student who was poisoned by a fentanyl laced prescription pill. i would require judges to warn people convicted of fentanyl related crimes that if they sell fentanyl again, and if someone dies, they could be charged with murder. i'm standing here on behalf of all the brown and black moms jeff zack cameron merrick. alexandra more than 100 people testified at this senate public safety hearing. most in support of the bill. in fact, 22 bipartisan senators signed on as co authors, meaning it already had a number votes to pass on the senate floor. its 1st it had to pass the public. safety committee beyond different frustrating the same senators insulted simply didn't vote. no 1 should have that kind of power. the popular bill died. not appropriate to not go on record without anyone voting against the bill. on the record, we're doing our job by voting. that is what they signed up for to represent us. is that the way government

supposed to work do i think that's the way? no, of course, not. southern california senator tom umberg was the primary author of alexandra's law. can understand why the parents felt so. i agreed. and some so angry he explains. there are many reasons lawmakers may decline to vote. sometimes it's a polite way to vote. no, but in other cases, it's a way to kill a bill without taking a recorded stance system that we have. should we change it? probably so assembly and senate leadership declined to comment for the story. digital democracy reveals alexandra's law was 1 of at least 15 bills that died last year because lawmakers chose not to vote and by making it easier to see things like that they're going to be worried. these women think digital democracy will change the way. california lawmakers work. hoping they start showing up to do their jobs and those that have been doing it. i think they're leading by example. >liz>right now i am joined by san francisco supervisor matt dorsey. he were calling for for an investigation to see if the drug meta toma dean has made

its way into san francisco. thanks so much for being here with us. so the drug crisis in the city feels like it's just a runaway train. how do you stop? top a drug like this from making it on to our streets. you know, for the 1st time in several years, you're starting to see just the beginning. of signs of progress over the last 3 months. we've had a couple of months of the number of drug overdoses that are fatal going down. um, but it seems like you know, every time there's progress. do you hear of something new and more dangerous and more deadly and last week there was an organization that monitors the drug supply nationwide. they issued a public health alert that there is a new drug. it is a animal tranquilizer. called melatonin, dean. is now in the drug supply several cities and it's responsible for driving overdose spikes in chicago, pittsburgh and philadelphia, including toronto, and vancouver. canada. so this is something that is a concern for

me. as a lawmaker in san francisco, it's a concern for me also is somebody who is has my own history. recovery. from drug addiction. this is personal to me in a way that many things in politics. have been personal in years past. so i wanted to make sure as a member of the board of supervisors that i'm asking the right questions of city departments. and that that was questions are are we monitoring for mediterranean? and if we're not? what do you need from city hall to make sure that we're doing this and doing it well, so i've asked the ossoff the chief medical examiner department of public health and the police department to explore what we're doing, or what we're not doing and report back. so what does that mean? does that mean boots on the ground going around and undercover officers? does that mean being in hospitals and testing people who are coming in for overdoses? what does that really look like it's the unsung heroes who are the scientists. um that we have a team of them who worked at the ossoff the chief medical examine. everybody who passes away in san francisco is subject to a toxicology

assessment, and that's how we monitor um what people are dying of in terms of the drug drug overdose. me too. um, we should be making sure that we're going as deep as we can to find out what kinds of things are in the supply of drugs. that is lethal. right now. four out of 5 of stuff. fatalities. from drug overdose deaths in san francisco. are attributable to 1 drug, and that's a mental year, potentially we don't know if it in san france. but we know it's elsewhere. yahoo! and it's complicating things because what it does is it drives heart rates down. formally a heart rate is between 6100 beats. per minute. if somebody is finds himself taking a drug that has met atomic in in their heart rate constructed 20 in philadelphia, just in a span of a few days, there were 160 people

hospitalized. because of medical tomainian. wow. you know, you've been very open about your view of that harm reduction strategies as well as law enforcement strategies can work and reducing the drug crisis here in san francisco. when you see a drug like meta toma dean, potentially being on our streets is your view. change on that? do you think that there needs to be a stronger legal presence or law enforcement presence on the streets and putting people in jail if you're selling this or using it? that harm reduction is part of a strategy in europe. they call it a 4 pillar strategy. regions. prevention treatment harm. reduction in law enforcement. so it doesn't fit comfortably into ideological lanes. yes, we need harm reduction because people who choose to use drugs should have the opportunity to stay alive so that when they're ready for recovery but when people are acting out illegally in their addictions, they should be held accountable for that, and we shouldn't let people use drugs publicly on the street. i've also advocated to make sure that we have better gop ist services people

who are getting arrested for drug use are often at the end of their rope. you know, they're the ones who are most vulnerable. to a fatal drug overdose deaths, so if we can be making sure that our criminal justice interventions or lifesaving inter functions. that could make a huge difference. every few months. we're hearing about another scary drug that is out there, and in addition to the fentanyl overdoses this is unchartered territory, correct for a lot of narcotics. experts. the narcotics experts that i have talked to who have done this work for years. um say that it's it was something that we could never have imagined that a drug would come along. that was so profitable. and so addictive as fentanyl that we could afford to the drug dealers could afford to kill this many customers. it's not something that makes sense. and it's very scary if there is a sort of silver lining to it. i will say that in the recovery community, which i'm part of a cheating and things like that. life. i do hear from a lot of

people who are really aware of how scary it is out there. if you've got recovery, it's really important to stay in it. if you don't have it, it's important to get into the covering, all right. great message supervisor matt dorsey. thank you so much for being here. coming up, state lawmakers are working on at least 10 bills to curb the fentanyl epidemic coming up. how a group of moms in sacramento is putting pressure on them to take action. stay with us. >now. you can get your kpx. news weather and livestream all in 1 place on

>liz>a state lawmakers are working on several bill to try to curb the fentanyl epidemic. the california senate passed 10 bills as part of the safer california plan, and they are now headed to the assembly and some of their proposals include making zilla seen also known as tranq. a schedule 3 controlled substance, creating a statewide standard to make sure treatment courts use the best practices and requiring the department of public health to create guidelines to protect and prevent fentanyl related deaths. among young children. and while lawmakers consider those laws, a group of moms
