On Thursday, July 24 President Trump signed the ENDING CRIME AND DISORDER ON AMERICA’S STREETS executive order to make it easier for local jurisdictions to remove homeless people from the street. However, the order goes beyond targeting homeless people, it could potentially be used to target anyone who has ever received treatment for a mental health issue or drug addiction.
As scary as this order is, Marcus and Esme are asking their listeners to share this episode (or related resources – see below) with anyone who has ever struggled with mental health or addiction issues – or knows someone who has. Because there are steps we can take if we start acting right now.
