Other members of the CCD Rights Task Force, as well as representatives from the National Council on Disability and Lead On were present. Representatives from the Domestic Policy Council, the US Department of Justice, and the Task Force presented. Members of the disability community spoke on a range of concerns, including lack of disability issues presented in the Task Force report. Participants discussed the need for the criminal justice system to be aware of the needs and concerns of the disability community, to treat victims, witnesses and those suspected of crime with respect; data collection regarding people with disabilities and police violence; as well as time spent in the prison system, and access to supports and services while in and transitioning out. United Spinal supports a Consortium for Citizens with Disabilities Rights Task Force letter sent to the United States Senate. The letter voiced concerns about the Helping Families in Mental Health Crisis Act (H.R. 2646). The letter pointed out that instead of addressing the dramatic gaps in community services, the bill would remove critical protections for individuals with psychiatric disabilities and promote involuntary treatment. Community Integration Act - United Spinal supports the concepts described in the Community Integration Act, supported by Senator Charles Schumer (D-NY), which ensures that people with disabilities receive home and community-based supports and services in the home setting of their choice.
