A brilliant young person in my workshop for @projectnia's Abolitionist Youth Organizing Institute reminded us that folks with mental illness are more likely to be the recipients of violence than the perpetrators. #DefundPolice #FundMentalHealth #AYONYC
It's super similar to folks accusing/stigmatizing trans people as being perpetrators of sexual violence, when it is way more common for trans people to be the targets of sexual violence. #DefundPolice #FundMentalHealth
I'm guilty of discussing funding mental healthcare as a way to stop people with mental illness from harming others. We should start reframing it as a way to protect folks with mental illness from being harmed--particularly by prisons and police. #DefundPolice #FundMentalHealth
