DESCRIPTION:[Last Week A federal appeals court has ruled that New York Stat
 e must comply with a lower court’s order to begin immediately transferri
 ng thousands of people with mental illness in New York City out of large\,
  institutional group homes and into their own homes and apartments\, where
  they will continue to receive specialized treatment and services.] http:/
 /streetvisuals.posterous.com/state-must-move-mentally-ill-from-group-ho\n[
 It is imperative that all our communities\, organizations\, activists\, pe
 ople of faith\, etc. support the work Rights for Imprisoned People with Ps
 ychiatric Disabilities has been doing in whatever capacity possible.] We m
 ust ensure those brothers and sisters finally being released are provided 
 with solid foundations and alternatives that\\'ll lead them a normal way o
 f life and not disregard them\, so that the nypd can\\'t target them and g
 enerate revenue for the prison industrial complex.\nIf you or your loved o
 ne is in a psychiatric crisis are you afraid to call 911/the police? Do yo
 u wish there was a more humane and effective response to mental health cri
 sis calls in NYC. Did you know that NYC is one of the only major cities in
  the US that does not have a specialized response to mental health crisis 
 calls?\n\nJoin Rights for Imprisoned People with Psychiatric Disabilities 
 in a Community Day. It is time to bring light to the challenges that peopl
 e with mental illness face. We as a community can bring about change. We c
 an break the stigma.\n\nWe hope that all in the NYC mental health communit
 y (and beyond) will come out and support this event. This day will give us
  an opportunity to create more awareness for the issues that people with m
 ental illness face in our communities. It will also be an opportunity to g
 ain support for the many solutions that exist including Community Crisis I
 ntervention Teams.\n\nThe afternoon will include entertainment from local 
 artist as well as presentations from people who have been effected by the 
 criminalization of mental illness.\n\nPlease get the word out about this v
 ery important event. We are looking co-sponsors as well as artists to shar
 e their talent with us for this important community event. If you are inte
 rested please call Lisa Ortega at 646-260-6575 begin_of_the_skype_highligh
