Thank you for signing our petition to support mental health and addictions recovery and oppose long term institutionalization.
Within only one week, we have been able to collect over 350 signatures and more are signing on each day. It is important that in the face of attacks by the Trump administration on mental health and addictions -and their call to expand coercion and criminalization - that we speak out and help protect the rights and well being of the millions of Americans who experience mental health and addiction problems and their families.
Note this great comment from Mica:
"Our administration is actively trying to dismantle community recovery efforts and replace them with long-term hospitalization — a harmful, outdated approach that isolates rather than heals. This will only further induce stigma, judgement and even cost lives. People deserve care, connection, and a chance to recover in their own communities — not a lifetime behind locked doors. 🗣️ I'm standing up for recovery, dignity, and real solutions. Please sign and share this petition to stop the push for institutionalization."
We urgently need others to sign - let's collect at least 500 within the next week. You can help by sharing the petition with your networks, friends, families, colleagues and others - including via social media:
Thank you for making a difference.
