Jonathan Martinis campaigns for an alternative to guardianships known as Supported Decision Making. According to Jonathan,  “The most important question we can ask before putting someone in guardianship is what else have you tried?” Britney Spears has put the issue of conservatorships firmly in the global spotlight. The singer was forced to go through an immense legal battle to regain control over her life. The decision to terminate the arrangement is being celebrated not just by Britney fans, but by disability rights advocates.
They hope the case will shine a light on the plight of many other ordinary Americans living under guardianships, which they say are a blunt and overused tool. They argue such arrangements should be an absolute last resort.
