      YOUR MAD PRIDE NUMBER? Celebrate 2009, Unite for 2010.

      by David W. Oaks, Director, MindFreedom International


To celebrate the end of the year, here are four interesting numbers 
about mental health advocacy:

41:

Number of years ago that the first "psychiatric survivor" group in 
this era started internationally. It was in Oslo, Norway, called "We 
Shall Overcome." WSO is still a proud sponsor of the MindFreedom 
International coalition to this day!

40:

Number of years ago that the first psychiatric survivor group started 
in the USA, with the provocative name "Insane Liberation Front," in 
Portland, Oregon. "ILF" didn't last long, but inspired others, and 
this was before the Internet.

The co-founder who named ILF was Tom Wittick, who is a proud member of 
MindFreedom International to this day.

23:

Number of years ago this month -- on December 22 -- that the nonprofit 
that became MindFreedom International began its united independent 
activism.

2010:

The year you and thousands of others unite with MindFreedom 
International toward a real revolution in mental health care!



This is an invitation to everyone for an end-of-year donation to 
MindFreedom International, here:

     http://www.mindfreedom.org/join-donate


A few reasons:

Because in 2009 MindFreedom International...

** stopped some forced electroshocks... but forced electroshock 
continues in the USA and internationally.

** protested directly in front of the psychiatric drug industry... but 
their deadly corruption continues.

** promoted humane mental health alternatives... but there are still 
far too few available.

** celebrated Mad Pride events internationally... but too many have 
never heard of this amazing social change movement.

** united thousands of people to take action, but hundreds of 
thousands -- millions -- are needed.


UNITE FOR A REVOLUTION IN MENTAL HEALTH!

Please give your end-year-donation securely, here and now:

http://www.mindfreedom.org/join-donate

Or go to the MindFreedom home page at http://www.mindfreedom.org, and 
CLICK ON THE BIG RED BUTTON in the upper right.


YOU BENEFIT BY DONATING TO MFI, TODAY, TOO:

** MFI is a nonprofit under IRS 501(c)(3) so your donation is tax-
deductible.

** Your MFI membership during this end-of-year support drive will 
include all of 2010.

** The brand-new MindFreedom Journal #50 is immediately postal mailed 
First Class to new and renewing members (with an excellent new "Truth 
Brochure"!).

** MFI Members qualify for discounts on books and CD's at
http://www.madmarket.org

** MFI supports each member's activism "in a spirit of mutual 
cooperation."

** MFI Members can register for free with the MindFreedom Shield to 
defend your rights.

** MFI Members may network via member-only web forums, e-mail lists, a

MOST IMPORTANT...

When you donate today, you enter 2010 as part of an historic non-
violent revolution to truly transform one of the most powerful and 
profitable industry's in world history.

MindFreedom International is one of the few mental health advocacy 
groups to refuse all funding from the mental health system itself.

So think about this number:

1 (one)

Multiply that by thousands.

MFI is counting on *EVERY* supporter to dig in and help today.

Any donation helps. Recommended low-income membership is $20, regular 
$35, though some give more. You can easily set up an automatic monthly 
donation to help your budget. Or if you have considered a major gift, 
now is the time.
