In @_inquest_, BUSSW alum Emy Takinami (MSW'20) & Husain Rizvi share how @LibHealthBoston & @The_City_School led the design of a non-police, community-based mental health crisis response model for @CityOfBoston – and what happens next. bit.ly/3KxIjV9
Boston @MayorWu stunned organizers when she vetoed legislation that would've funded a pilot program for a non-carceral mental health crisis response unit in the city.

Husain Rizvi of @The_City_School and Emy Takinami of @LibHealthBoston offer a behind-the-scenes look at their campaign to bring a non-carceral mental health crisis response unit to the city of Boston.
It's "a small piece of our abolitionist horizon."
