This weekâs abrupt termination and reversal of federal mental health grants cannot be treated as isolated or inconsequential. Below is a brief overview of what happened, why it matters for alternative, non-police crisis response, and how it connects to broader federal priorities. A must read. [1/9]

on why police and carceral systems remain central to mental health crisis response, and how power, funding, and geography shape who gets care and who is routed toward confinement. Read the full blog at:

The LA fires exposed a major breakdown in government accountability. Even with protections in place, aid was slow, coordination stalled, & the response relied on prison labor & international crewsârevealing the gap between law on paper versus reality. [1/7]

DisCrit examines how racism & ableism intersect to shape systems of power that marginalize disabled people of color. It challenges ânormalcyâ & calls for collective action toward justice. Check out the video, one-pager, & other resources at

đ¨ Trumpâs EO expands civil commitment, guts housing & harm reduction, and ties funding to policing unhoused people. It targets disabled, unsheltered, Black & Brown, LGBTQ+, and multiply marginalized folks. We need housing & supportânot punishment & institutionalization. More:

"Without the federal Protection and Advocacy program, there is no federally mandated, independent oversight of abuse...in psychiatric settings. Cutting its funding would leave those in the most dangerous environments unprotected."

A new executive order stops short of martial lawâbut barely. It pushes military assets into local policing, guts reforms, shields officer misconduct, and targets DEI as criminal. This is how democracy erodes: not with a bang, but with a memo.

The U.S. is bringing back psychiatric incarceration under the guise of "care." Itâs carceral, not compassionate. We need real community support, not forced confinement. Read more of our own Jordyn Jensen's words for

More death than dignity: Our MAiD Report reveals the reality behind Medical Assistance in Dyingâa system that prioritizes death over support for living. Disabled people of color are disproportionately harmed, caught in a web of ableism, racism, and inadequate safeguards masking as "choice."
