WCJA was proud to stand with our allies yesterday at the #PeersNotPolice rally before the @NYCCouncil hearing on B-HEARD. The message is simple: We need Peers showing up during a mental health crisis not police.

When police respond to mental health crises, those who need help are often subject to use of force, arrest, incarceration, and even death.
We must support the alternative response models that don't solely rely on law enforcement for New Yorkers most in need of mental healthcare.

Freedom Agenda member Peggy Herrera is calling on Mayor Adams to *finally* create a real mental health response for people in crisis - the kind of response her son Justin needed, and that so many people languishing on #Rikers should have had.

“When the police came during my mental health crises, it kicked up to a higher gear. It took me 2 yrs to recover. My experience is unfortunately the most mild. Many ppl aren’t able to be here today bc they were shot and killed,” CCIT-NYC steering committee member Alex Brass
