Overdose Prevention Trainings
Update:
Thirty members of the community attended the Narcan Training & Overdose Prevention Workshop sponsored by the LEATHER & LGBTQ Cultural District in partnership with Kochina Rude and SF Oasis. Thank you to “Narcan Queen” Kochina for another life-saving and engaging training, Ryan Patrick Welsh for a dynamic performance, and the amazing staff of Oasis (Carissa/Snaxx, Icarus at the bar, Aaron on tech, Will at the door). The training was made possible by a generous grant from the Success Centers.
We invite you to join us for Overdose Prevention Training by Kochina Rude, sponsored by the LEATHER & LGBTQ Cultural District.
This session is open to the public, on Wednesday, May 22, 6 pm, at Oasis, 298 11th Street.
The training will include how to recognize the signs of a fentanyl overdose and how to properly use Naloxone (Narcan). There will also be training on how to use fentanyl test strips. Each participant will receive a kit with two doses of Narcan and a supply of test strips.
The evening will include food and a special performance by Ryan Patrick Welsh, star of “Sex, Camp, Rock ‘n’ Roll”.
Admission is free but seating is limited. Please register to join us.
Fentanyl overdoses have been at critical levels in San Francisco in the last few years. You can be prepared to save a life. Additional training sessions for employees of District bars and clubs are also being scheduled.

New Park Updates
We are very excited about the new Park that is being constructed by the City at Natoma and 11th Street, just a few feet north of the LEATHER & LGBTQ Cultural District.
The new park will include a half-basketball court, fitness area, children’s play area, tables and seating throughout. It will offer folks a respite from the dense, urban environment, among lush plantings.
The San Francisco Recreation and Park Department solicited community input into naming the park, and we proposed that the park be named after Rachele Sullivan, one of the founders of our Cultural District and a prominent figure in SOMA’s Filipino community.
Several other names were proposed, including options to honor various representatives of the Leather, Filipino, and Disabled communities.
In two rounds of community surveys, Rachele Sullivan’s name emerged as the clear favorite, garnering more votes than all other options combined.
We believe that honoring Rachele Sullivan is a profoundly good choice, as she was a woman who proudly embodied the intersection of the queer, leather, Filipino, Indigenous, and disabled communities.
The final naming decision will be made by the Recreation and Park Commission. Please visit our New Park About to be Named page for information.
