🌎 Stolen Lives Picnic – Prescribed Harm Awareness Day
πŸ“ Michigan State Capitol Lawn
πŸ“… July 29
🎟 Free Event | Donations Welcome

---
On July 29th, families, advocates, and community members will gather on the lawn of the Michigan State Capitol for a powerful day of remembrance, awareness, and reform.
Stolen Lives Picnic is a peaceful memorial honoring lives lost to prescribed psychiatric medications and related harms. Originally founded in the UK by Antidepressant Risks, this marks the first time the Stolen Lives Picnic will be held outside of the UK β€” and we are honored to host it here in Michigan.
This day is deeply personal.
It honors London Izabella-RyΓ©n Gadd β€” Forever 12 β€” and every child, teen, and adult whose life was altered or lost after being prescribed medication without full transparency of risks.

πŸ’™ What This Event Is
β€’ A memorial for loved ones gone too soon
β€’ A call for informed consent and transparency
β€’ A space for families to gather in compassion
β€’ A peaceful awareness movement
β€’ A reminder that behind every statistic is a real human life
β€’ A safe space for loss β€” even if you have lost a loved one to suicide
We are not statistics.
We are mothers. Fathers. Grandparents. Siblings. Friends.
There is no judgment here. No labels. No dismissal. Only compassion, remembrance, and unity.

---
🧺 What to Bring
β€’ A picnic lunch for you and your family
β€’ A blanket or lawn chair
β€’ A photo of your loved one lost to prescribed harms or suicide (if you feel comfortable sharing)
β€’ An open heart
There will be time for remembrance, connection, and gentle conversation about advocacy, reform, and protecting future generations.

This is a peaceful gathering.
This is about truth.
This is about protecting children and families.
This is about love that did not end.
Her life mattered.
Their lives mattered.
And their stories will continue to protect others.
πŸ’™ Join us as we turn grief into purpose β€” together.
