We can't cut our way to a just recovery, Mayor Muriel Bowser & #DCcouncil ! It's shortsighted to eye community-based mental health programs for cuts during a PANDEMIC. #NoCutsToKidsBehavHealth
Meanwhile, some on Council want to waste $ by expanding the estate tax. You can't make this up
My long experience as a school social worker tells me that making cuts to DC's #MentalHealthCare would be a deadly, dangerous, and anti-equity move. Vince Gray Mary M. Cheh @cmdgrosso Brianne K. Nadeau Brandon T. Todd #StayHomeWard4 Phil Mendelson

As Council of DC weighs changes to the FY21 budget, it's critical that our city lives out our #DCValues & invests in behavioral health services. In this time of crisis, we need MORE spending on health providers like CBOs. #NoCutsToKidsBehavHealth #TeamSBMH Brandon T. Todd #StayHomeWard4
#DC students facing high rates of trauma and other challenging conditions must feel mentally and emotionally safe. Phil Mendelson: Without proper funding, the services they need the most, like CBOs, could go away. #NoCutsToKidsBehavHealth #TeamSBMH
These statistics are deeply concerning. But we CAN do something about them #NoCutsToKidsBehavHealth #TeamSBMH Phil Mendelson
Black and Latinx children are bearing particularly heavy burdens right now, with communities hardest hit by the pandemic & economic fallout. Ensuring they & their families have access to behavioral health services is vital to achieving racial justice. #NoCutsToKidsBehavHealth
