Protesting in Toledo, Ohio with mental illness sign

My website was not reaching people. So I started protesting in Toledo, Ohio, riding around in my electric wheelchair holding a protest sign. The two sides of the sign say “Stop Fear and Hate of Mental illness” and “Mental illness discrimination by gov., VA, police, and law”.
My social worker at the VA worries that I will get myself arrested for protesting. He said that I do not want to experience the criminal justice system. I have yet to find a mental health worker that honestly understands stigma, and why I need to fight back!
If I had not found cinemaniastigma.com a back in 2004 then I would never have realized how stigma had been destroying my life. In my case it is like PTSD because of life threatening events that occurred in conjunction with mental illness stigma.
