    Vanessa Ramos of Disability Rights California and the All People’s Health Collective joins podcast co-host Susan Li to discuss how services in California are failing to provide people with the care and supports they need and warehousing people in cruel, isolating, and coercive locked facilities instead—sometimes for years.
