Resistbot Petition: #StopTheShock & End Torture of People With Disabilities

An open letter to the U.S. Congress

#StopTheShock & End Torture of People With Disabilities

4 so far! Help us get to 5 signers!

I’m calling to request that you include language in the omnibus bill that would completely ban the use of electric shock for behavior modification. Only one institution in the country still uses electric shocks this way, and the UN found the practice to be torture in 2013. The FDA banned this use of electric shocks in 2020, but the DC Circuit Court overturned the ban on a technicality. Congress has the power to stop electric shock torture by including this ban in the omnibus bill. Can I count on your support to include a ban in the end of year omnibus bill?
