Virtual Event: Standing United for Our Rights: Convening Against CARE Court

April 4, 2022 by Jonathan 1 Comment

Join us for a live event:

DRC and WRAP logo

Join Disability Rights California in partnership with Western Regional Advocacy Project to unify an educational and informational campaign to stop any framework that takes away the rights of people with disabilities by placing them under unnecessary court ordered treatment.

At the convening, advocates will provide up-to-date information about what we know about the CARE Court framework. We also seek the input of our community to combat any framework that demands costly resources, strips the rights of people with disabilities, and makes no commitment to provide housing.

Live Captioning, ASL and Spanish Interpreters will be Available.

When:
April 8, 2022
10:00 AM – 1:00 PM
Pacific Time

About this event:

To effectively oppose a costly, unproven court-ordered treatment system that will not end homelessness in California, we need the community and we want to advocate with you.

Who should attend:

This convening is open to self-advocates and advocates who support the fundamental right for people with disabilities to self-determine their medical care and treatment. Attendees should be accountable to advocating on behalf of people with lived experience, especially people who experience mental illness, substance use, homelessness, and/or involvement in the criminal legal system. We would like to partner with you to unify the community in speaking out against any framework that includes court-ordered treatment as a means to end homelessness.

    Fundamentally I believe at issue here is who or what exactly is behind the public relations machine that has the ear of California HHS, senior advisors to Governor Newsom, and California legislators who continue to author legislation that is counterproductive to the Authentic recovery and resilience of Peers.

    To me it feels like there has been some corruption of CalMHSA and the Steinberg Institute. Also, and perhaps most notably, Nami which has continued a long history of aligning with the interests of BigPharma, given the organization’s continued public mis-education disseminated through core marketing materials and brochures.

    When I realized that the green ribbon was adopted by Nami and claimed ownership of California’s mental health movement I became incensed. Locally a couple [most likely Pharma reps] appeared at our county’s Nami office circa 2013 or so and sold the organization on their social marketing campaign, Each Mind Matters.

    It only takes a few bad apples to corrupt our government systems, and advocacy organizations, which perhaps [fundamentally i hope] aim to assist families and individuals in recovery from a society grounded in greed.

One of the questions we asked people we love about One of the questions we asked people we love about this continuing forty-year process of addressing the root causes of homelessness in America was recognizing that our comrade Paul has also been fighting this neoliberal bullshit for forty years. In earlier emails people spoke about the importance of WRAP. Here is what some of our friends had to say about Paul’s role over the last forty years. https://conta.cc/3vbUnUx

This work is not always successful due to the fact that the oppressors are the ones making the laws.
