Join the world in closing institutions! An institution is where people who experience an intellectual disability have been sent to live and sometimes forgotten. An institution is: • A Place Where You Are Not Connected To Friends, Family & Neighbors • A Place Where You Have No Freedom • A Place Where There Is Potential Risk For Abuse & Neglect • A Place Where You Have No Key To Get Out • A Place Where You Have Limited Or No Choices In Life • A Place Where You Are Not Treated With Respect • A Place Where You Have No Privacy • A Place Where You Would Not Want To Call “Home” This cause is organized for all to be involved by People First of New Hampshire This petition can be used by anyone wishing to use it in their advocacy to help close institutions across the world.
I am truly overwhelmed by the momentum behind this push to bring people home. This response belongs entirely to you and your commitment to a world where everyone lives with dignity.

My brother spent years in one of these and he deserved so much better. Glad to see people fighting for this.
