Dear Mental Health
Advocates,
THIS 4TH OF JULY, LET THE
FREEDOM TO RECOVER RING OUT AT LOCAL PARADES
On Saturday, communities throughout
Ohio will be holding parades to celebrate our nation’s birthday.
Legislators who will be making critical funding decisions that will impact
mental health services will be at those parades. The Coalition for Healthy
Communities, of which NAMI Ohio is a member, is calling on all advocates of
mental health and alcohol and other drug services to continue to press home the
point that Ohio citizens need the benefits of the behavioral health system fully
funded at the House of Representatives level.
To make that point, we are urging
all advocates to bring your signs, your voices, and yourselves out to your
community’s parade to LET THE FREEDOM TO RECOVER, RING ACROSS OHIO!!
1.
Organize a group
of recovery advocates to make signs to hold during the parade. Signs
should
say:
a. INVEST WISELY! Fund Mental Health and Addiction Recovery Services b. $1 Spent on Mental Health and Addiction Recovery Services Saves $11 Tax Dollars c. Mental Health and Addiction Recovery Services SAVE LIVES!! 2. Attend the parade and meet at a designated time and location. 3. Let people know you’re there! Be loud and make sure any public officials, especially legislators, see your signs and hear your chants. 4. Have one of your group take video (AVI files or QuickTime for Macs) and/or photos (jpegs). Not a lot; just a couple minutes or 5-6 photos will do. 5. Get video of a couple people explaining why Ohio should fund Mental Health and Addiction Recovery Services and what will happen if the services are cut. Short “soundbite” comments are best. 6. Email the pictures and video to this email address: (insert address) 7. NOTE: When possible, include people’s names and hometowns in the email.
SPECIAL
NOTE: We need the video and photos NO LATER THAN MONDAY, JULY
6th.
A compilation video and photo array will be uploaded to YouTube and posted to Coalition for Healthy Communities members’ websites. The media and members of the Ohio General Assembly and the Governor’s Office will be directed to look at the new footage, pictures, and quotes. We have to keep our issue in their minds! Have a Happy 4th of July!! Your
friends at NAMI Ohio
