Alert! We joined @ACLU_SoCal and a coalition of advocates in filing an amicus brief in Britney Spears’ conservatorship case. We believe Ms. Spears has the right to choose her own lawyer, and the right to supports like Supported Decision-Making #FreeBritney https://t.co/coBGtrLrM6
@EbThen @jenbo1@UntoNuggan If you haven’t seen it, here is a statement on Britney Spears from a number disability justice organizations working on Supported Decision-Making (including some mentioned above like @autselfadvocacy). Lots of valuable links within the statement! - https://t.co/Mz5sTFtyDH
Check out this article in @VICE featuring Cory from CPR’s Supported Decision-Making pilot with @Nonotuck! Cory was the first person in MA to terminate his guardianship in favor of using Supported Decision-Making. #FreeBritney

Britney Spears’ abusive conservatorship made me want to seek out folks in similar situations (who weren’t rich or famous).
For @VICE, I spoke to 3 ppl about what it was like to be under guardianship and about alternatives to the restrictive practice.
