Rally for Violence and it's Impact on Mental Health Issues in Society!
Apr 17, 2009
To: All Care2 Members:
I am presently in the process of preparing a venue for a rally to be held in New York to stomp out violence and it's impact on the mental health issues in society. This is to include issues of domestic violence, police brutality, corruption, cover ups, and just general issues of violence that impacts mental and emotional issues in our communities. Peace will be the major focus and how to develop a more cohesive community and world. I encourage all who are within the northeast to join in as I plan on this being a huge event with many artists, activists, local poets/poetresses; just local entertainment in general. There will also be some political figures. There will be vendors on site and etc.....any/all proceeds will be donated to Help USA, which is a homeless shelter that provides a lot of help within our communities.
I will provide an URL shortly with all information on the Rally and the exact date which will be sometime in June 09'. I expect lots of people so if there are any care2 members who want to come, please notify me, especially if you would like to be a part of the venue, have flyers supporting any petitions you may have and/or if you want to speak. I am also going to try and have some computers on site so we can get some petitions signed that day or develop some kind of forms for signatures. Please stay tuned for more information.

This is great work, C. Thanks for letting us know, and I wish you the best in this effort to improve mental health in the community and promoting peace. Lots of people don't realize that there are many people who never went to war, yet they suffer from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder from the violence they have witnessed in their neighborhoods or even at home.
At Assistance to the Incarcerated Mentally Ill, we advocate for decriminalizing mental illness. Please, at your rally, would you promote H.R.619? It is a bill to reappoint Medicaid to cover mental health services for those who financially qualify for medical assistance. When Medicaid stopped supporting inpatient services, tens of thousands of mental patients were literally dumped into the street where many live homeless, and others died. Unfortunately, some psychiatric patients who died as a result of irrational decisions due to lack of treatment took some people with them.
We are doing a demonstration to bring attention to the criminalized mentally ill on May 16 in Atlanta. It is called "Human Rights for Prisoners March." There is much concern about prisoners in the War on Terror determent camps, but many Americans do not know that torturous living conditions are happening right here in the U.S., and many inmates die. Unfortunately, 50% of the 2.3 million prisoners in America are mentally disturbed to some degree.

Congratulations and keep up the good work!
