Alliance Alert: The Alliance for Rights and Recovery stands with our partners in the POWER Coalition in calling for justice and accountability following the tragic death of Daphy Michel. As an active member of the POWER Coalition, we remain committed to advancing policies that uphold the dignity, rights, and humanity of people with mental health and substance use challenges, including immigrants and other marginalized communities. We support the Coalition’s call for a full investigation into Ms. Michel’s death and will continue working alongside national partners to advocate for compassionate, community-based responses that protect vulnerable individuals rather than subjecting them to neglect, institutionalization, or other harmful practices. See below for the full statement from the POWER Coalition.
