#FDAStopTheShockDevice needs a boost!

Thank you for supporting the #FDAStopTheShockDevice petition. We have discussed our concerns with the Ombuds Office at the FDA and were encouraged to file a formal complaint. We will be sending an official complaint to the FDA Ombuds Office later this week concerning the processes the FDA has chosen to take concerning this proposed rule to down-classify the shock device to a Class II device. Our complaint includes that the new information included redacted information of user and survivors of psychiatry's perspectives of shock treatment; the FDA's position to not accept form letters and to censor comments in the docket; and the decision that a hearing does not need to be held. We would like to be able to say we have 1,000+ supporters. We are close - with 857 supporters as this note is being written. Please share the petition with your network and encourage your friends and loved ones to join you in telling the FDA that the shock device should not be down-classified for any reason. Thank you!
