If you're advocating for laws that target specific disabilities for forced civil detention because civil is better than criminal than it’s not about protecting vulnerable people from unnecessary trauma. It’s about using the law as a means of controlling specific people.
@robwipond Thank you! Anyone who likes #committable should absolutely check out Your Consent is Not Required, an amazing book that weaves stories of lived experience with in depth journalism and really unravels many of the unchecked narratives about these institutions.
I was at a meeting of attorneys and other experts on mental health laws and involuntary commitment recently, and some mentioned what a stellar podcast series @committablepod has created. Indeed! More people should know about it. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/com…

This bill eliminates chances for involuntarily held patients to prove capacity to refuse forced antipsychotic injections, mostly to cater to psychiatrists who don't want to bother with hearings. (We could particularly use letters from psychiatrists and other clinicians.) (3/5)

JUST IN: CT House votes to extend paid sick days to almost all workers after day-long debate
Today's the day. Please take a minute to contact your legislator. Just cause evictions protection deserves a vote in the Senate. Evictions are traumatic events in children's lives. Subjecting a child to that trauma without a good reason is unacceptable.
📢 URGENT ACTION ALERT! Take two minutes today to contact your state representative and senator. Let them know you support Just Cause Eviction protections and ask them to vote yes on S.B. 143 - An Act Concerning Evictions. Click to send a message now: bit.ly/4d9kwbj
If you're advocating for laws that target specific disabilities for forced civil detention because civil is better than criminal than it’s not about protecting vulnerable people from unnecessary trauma. It’s about using the law as a means of controlling specific people.
The argument that forced hospitalization is a necessary means of preventing people with SMI from being criminalized is bizarre to me.
