DESCRIPTION:
The final vote on involuntary outpatient commitment extension bill AB 2357 (Karnette and Yee) has once again been postponed to Monday, August 14, when it awaits its third reading on the Senate Floor.

The California Networkof Mental Health Clients (CNMHC) and other advocates encourage people to continue writing to State Senators to urge them to oppose this outdated, coercive, unproven and divisive bill.

Let\\'s send a strong message to Senators that clients, survivors, ex-patients and allies oppose this bill.

Sample letters:

The following sample letters may be used freely, modified and personalized by mental health clients, survivors, the cross-disability community, and allies.

Note: Please send your letters, faxes and emails by Sunday, and mail their letters by this evening, to ensure that they are received by Senators prior to the vote!

Clients, survivors and allies:

Sample client/survivor letter to Democratic Senate leaders

Sample client/survivor letter to Republican Senate leaders

Cross-disability community and allies:

Sample cross-disability letter to Democratic Senate leaders

Sample cross-disability letter to Republican Senate leaders

Please feel free to modify the above sample letters and add your own comments. And please don\\'t forget to sign them at the bottom and add your State Senator to the \\"cc\\" list at the end of the appropriate letter.

Note: If you\\'re not sure which Senator represents your district or what their party affiliation is, check the Senate website for links to each Senator\\'s homepage.
