CEL-E-BRATE GOOD TIMES… COME ON!

If you happened to listen closely enough, you might have heard our cheering just outside of DC as the Senate passed H.R. 34 (mental health and criminal justice reform) on Dec.7th by an astounding vote of 94-5.

This victory is because of the power of your voice, added to thousands of others, that form the mental health movement.

Together, we are unstoppable.
