The
Movement Of Mothers Standing-up-together
It
takes A Village
We are Mothers and Other Individuals who have
experienced grief, pain, shock, outrage and deep heartbreak, in response to the treatment our loved ones received, through
mental health care agencies and institutions. Many of us have also experienced similar tragedies under mental health care
in foster care systems, mental healthcare in criminal justice systems, and mental healthcare under guardianship practices
and laws. When we asked for help for our loved one in crisis this is what happened to many of us We ask how could this
ever happen, and although there is no excuse for the abusive and often cruel actions of those in power over our children's
lives, we must also look at the bigger picture and ask how such agencies and institutions became so powerful.
We believe it is a serious societal issue and
we must address that as well as direct advocacy for humane, compassionate care with voice, choice and dignity for our loved
ones. We believe that one of the main contributing factor is that...In our society; family, friends and neighbors
have become alienated and isolated. We lost the ability to care for each other and gave our power and trust to these agencies,
institutions, and laws. Without local community input and control we became dependent on forces who, as it turns out, are
often more beholden or controlled by bottom line profit industries and/or are bureaucratic nightmares . And now Our communities
are in chaos and crisis, and the emotions of grief, pain, and outrage are often what we experience when we receive their version
of the "help" that is offered. Thus we have dedicated ourselves to be the Change we seek in Our Communities!

their 100 mile walk
(4 parts)
Both Cindi and Aleshanee have a grown child whose rights were taken away within
the psycho-pharmaceutical treatment model. They are indignant of the gross abuses which have taken place and how their childrenās
anguish and pain were ignored and silenced. They will walk one hundred miles. They hope to raise awareness and to raise funds
to help their children in their recovery.

M.O.M.S. & the Police
Portland
A small group of mothers who were on a walk of 100 miles for Police
and Mental Health Justice in solidarity with and for their encarcerated loved ones, encounter a police action in Portland
Oregon on MLK Blvd. It appears to be a civil rights violations going on, as a dozen white officers search without cause or
warrant the car of four young black people. Nothing was found. No arrests.
