On this inaugural episode of The Game Plan, Eric Harris is joined by Vanessa Ramos, all around kid dynamite and special advisor to DRC’s Investigations Unit. They dive into their mutual origin story opposing the CARE Act, the landmark mental health bill that set off California's current nightmare direction on homelessness and mental health policy, discuss advocating for people with mental health disabilities, Vanessa’s personal connections to her work, and her experience taking an outsider's approach to government. The Game Plan is a space to strategize, organize and posterize for the future of the disability rights movement – subscribe, rate, review, and join us!
