Stoop Storytelling: What happened at summer camp!

The pharmaceutical company Allergan will pay the city of Baltimore $45 million dollars to resolve claims surrounding Allergan’s role in the nationwide opioid crisis. The settlement - announced earlier this month - will be paid out in the next two weeks, while litigation continues against other opioid manufacturers. 

$5 million of the settlement will be directed to the nonprofit Charm City Care Connection, which conducts outreach and provides services to people who use drugs. 

We talk about the organization’s mission with Community Engagement Manager Bakari Atiba.

Charm City Care Connection's drop-in center is located at 1214 N Wolfe St. It is open Monday through Thursday from 9am-4pm. Call 443-478-3015 to verify availability of services.

Charm City Care Connection aims to reduce overdose deaths through harm reduction

Baltimore is the overdose capital of the United States, according to detailed reporting by the Baltimore Banner and New York Times. 

The death rate from 2018 to 2022 was nearly double that of any other large city in the country. Black men in their mid-50s to early 70s account for nearly one of out every three drug fatalities. 

We speak with Alissa Zhu, a Baltimore Banner reporter and a New York Times Local Investigations fellow, and Nick Thieme, a data journalist for the Baltimore Banner.

It’s summer! Temps are high, school is out, pools are open, grills are stoked -- and the earth’s tilt is in place. What does ‘summer solstice’ mean, and is it really the longest day of the year? We ask Kelly Lepo, of Baltimore's Space Telescope Science Institute to break it down for us.
