This week on The Frame: City Council members review the latest proposals for the MBTA Communities Act, Call2Talk hosts a local event to prevent suicide, and the 13th annual Purple Passion 5K is set to take place on Saturday. Plus: a look into Question 5 on the Massachusetts ballot, which would raise the minimum wage for tipped workers.
As September marks Recovery Awareness Month, we sat down with State Representative Kate Donaghue and the Director of Anchored in Recovery Bridget Nicholson for a look at what steps are being taken locally and at the state level to combat the opioid crisis, as well as the benefits of harm reduction and the importance of community support.
