We cannot allow our community’s voice to be silenced while the system collapses. The state is pulling the plug on local mental health programs, leaving our community without a safety net.

Painted Brain is fighting to preserve the trusted, culturally responsive, and community-led care that Californians deserve. We refuse to accept a system where you have to be arrested or hospitalized before you can get help.

Act now. Tell your Assembly member and State Senator: Protect behavioral health funding. Protect peer services. Reject these proposed cuts.
