Eds. Note: We’d like to take this opportunity to remind our supporters our police advocacy campaign budget is $0 – the same as it’s been since 2003. What other advocacy organization can claim to do more with less? Considering the impact MHAP has made on every aspect of the police/mental illness conversation, we believe we are unique – certainly in Portland, possibly in the U.S. Your donations are always needed and gratefully accepted. We can assure you they’ll be well spent! (To contribute: Scroll down on the right and click the “Donate” button)
