For Selena Watkins', one of America's courageous citizens, life has undergone extraordinary changes over the past few years. Coming out of a difficult period, she now finds herself capable of managing her personal medical and/or financial affairs independently. However, there's one thing standing between her and her rightful autonomy: her overwhelming, unnecessary adult guardianship.

Selena, like an estimated 1.5 million other adults in the US, is entrapped in a legal guardianship that confines her individualistic rights and freedoms (source: American Psychological Association). This institutionalized practice often exceeds its original intent of safeguarded support and becomes a tool of unnecessary control. Furthermore, research suggests that people in supervised situations often thrive better when they exercise self-determination (source: National Council on Disability).

For Selena and countless others, the time to express their inherent autonomy is long overdue. Our request is clear and simple: terminate Selena Watkins' adult guardianship. Her progression demonstrates her ability to manage her affairs without being tethered by a formal guardianship. We believe in her strength and capability to carve out her path, allowed the same freedoms as everybody else.

Please, join us in our respectful plea to terminate Selena Watkins' adult guardianship. Allow her the freedom to live independently, a freedom she, like everyone, deserves. Sign our petition today because Selena Watkins, and others like her, must not be confined by unnecessary legal chains.
