Activists return to mental health clinic for rally

April 14, 2012 (CHICAGO)

"I saw elders handcuffed, when they need treatment," said activist Eliza Solowiej. "I saw people locked up when they just need healthcare."

The protesters were in a vacant lot across from the clinic.

They were joined by nurses and other members of their community.

The activists were arrested after staging a sit in inside the clinic Thursday night.

They're urging Mayor Emanuel to keep the clinic open, fully funded and staffed.
