International Overdose Awareness Day will be observed in Philadelphia’s Kensington neighborhood tomorrow as hundreds of participants are expected to gather for a “March in Black.”
Dan Martino, the event’s organizer, joined NewsWorks Tonight’s Dave Heller to discuss the opioid epidemic’s effect on the city and his push for safe injection sites.
