This is the harsh reality for far too many people. Our current system often throws police officers, trained in law enforcement, not mental health, into situations they’re not equipped to handle. The results can be tragic: escalation, injury, or even death.

But there’s hope. A growing movement is demanding change. We need a system that prioritizes safety and well-being, sending the right help for mental health emergencies.

Are you ready to fight for a better way?

We need people who are passionate about:

• Protecting Vulnerable Individuals: Ensure those experiencing a crisis receive the support they need, not criminalization.
• Reimagining Public Safety: Advocate for alternative response models that prioritize de-escalation and mental health expertise.
• Holding the System Accountable: Demand better training for police and investment in specialized crisis intervention teams.

This isn’t just about one incident; it’s about a systemic shift.

Together, we can build a response system that’s:

• Effective: Trained mental health professionals paired with officers, or dedicated crisis teams, to de-escalate situations and connect individuals with the right resources.
• Compassionate: A human-centered approach that prioritizes understanding and support over force.
• Equitable: A system that serves all communities fairly, dismantling racial and socioeconomic biases in crisis response.

If you’re tired of the broken status quo, and believe people deserve better, join us!

Here’s how you can be part of the solution:

• Raise Awareness: Share stories, statistics, and information to educate others about the critical need for reform.
• Contact Your Representatives: Demand action from local and state officials. Advocate for investment in crisis intervention training and alternative response models.
• Join Advocacy Groups: Connect with organizations working on this issue. Lend your voice and energy to their efforts.

Together, we can rewrite the narrative. We can make sure a mental health crisis doesn’t turn into another tragedy.

Let’s fight for a future where everyone gets the help they need when they need it most.  

This Isn’t Broken, It’s Shattered: We Need Warriors to Rebuild Mental Health Crisis Response!

Are you fed up? Sick to your stomach at the thought of another life lost because our system failed to recognize a cry for help as a cry for healing? We are too.

The current state of mental health crisis response isn’t cracked – it’s shattered. We’re throwing people in their most vulnerable moments to a system designed for apprehension, not understanding. This isn’t justice, it’s injustice in its purest form.

But here’s the good news: We can fix this. We can build a system that prioritizes safety and well-being, a system that sends the RIGHT help, not just any help.

This is a call to arms. A call to the warriors who refuse to stand by.

We need your burning rage, your unwavering compassion, your unyielding demand for change. We need:

• Fury for the Fallen: Let their stories fuel your fight. Demand accountability for a system that failed them.
• Empathy Embodied: You understand the depths of crisis. Help bridge the gap between fear and understanding, between force and support.
• Justice Seekers: We need your voices thundering through the halls of power. Advocate for reform, for investment in trained responders, for a system built on empathy, not force.

This isn’t about a single case; it’s about a broken system crushing countless lives.

Together, we can build a response system that’s:

• Fiercely Effective: Forget untrained officers. We need trained professionals who can de-escalate, not escalate.
• Overflowing with Compassion: Every interaction needs a human touch, not a cold hand on a nightstick.
• Uncompromisingly Equitable: Race, income, zip code shouldn’t determine your response. Everyone deserves the same chance at recovery.
• Civil Rights Lawyers and Organizations with a heart for mental health treatment.
• Personal stories who have been victims of poorly managed crisis calls, failed treatments, schools with failed systems, etc.  You at the frontline of all this need to be heard and we want to be the place where you can voice your concerns.
• Organizations offering reform for officers to learn compassion and skills for handling mental health crisis calls that end in help, not cuffs and a criminal record.
• Advocacy Groups for those suffering with mental health issues.

This fight isn’t for the faint of heart. It’s for those who refuse to accept the unacceptable.

If you’re ready to raise hell for a better tomorrow, join us! There’s a place for your anger, your tears, your unwavering belief in a system that serves, not destroys.

Let’s turn our rage into reform. Let’s make mental health a priority, not a death sentence.
