Partnered with Nobel Peace Prize-winning PHR to launched End "Excited Delirium"


Description

Campaign Zero partnered with the Nobel Peace Prize-winning organization Physicians for Human Rights (PHR) to launch the “End Excited Delirium” campaign. This initiative aims to eliminate the controversial and scientifically discredited diagnosis of “excited delirium,” which has often been used to justify excessive use of force by law enforcement and has disproportionately impacted marginalized communities.

Impact

Partnering with interdisciplinary experts provided an opportunity to understand the medical communities role in structural racism in the criminal legal system.
