Boston deserves a non-carceral, consent-based, community-based mental health crisis response that doesn’t involve the police!

We got a report back on a BLH research project that was conducted in Greece + a discussion about what we can learn from our Greek comrades about social movement building in our current historical moment!
See you in March!

One disappointing outcome of Boston's FY25 budget vote: still zero funding for an alternative to 911 for mental health crisis response.
Read the story of residents' grassroots effort to build this new model + their challenges with getting support from the City of Boston. 👀
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.
But the campaign behind it hasn't given up. In a way, it's only getting started. inquest.org/a-safer-healthie…

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."

We need $2.6M this year for free, non-police, community-based mental health crisis response! @The_City_School & @LibHealthBoston have developed a non-violent model ready to be funded. Let's build it with funds divested from BPD. 🧵-->
