Stop the proposed cuts in funding for mental health care in New Orleans, Louisiana.
Why is this important?
Sufficient care for mental health patients is a matter of life and death, not only that of the patient, but of their family, friends and the community at large. The death of a New Orleans Police Woman at the hands of a mental health patient released into the community without medications is one of many cases. If we wish to cut our murder rate, we should not cut mental health funds!
