AdBusters Magazine -- which helped launch the occupy movement -- 
called MindFreedom the "epicenter of the mad movement" in its special 
Mad Pride issue!

Founded in 1986, MindFreedom International is an independent, united, 
activist coalition. We're part of a peaceful grassroots global 
rebellion about what our friend Ken Kesey called the "combine" of the 
mental health industry and what is misnamed "normal."

The MFI community dares to ask:

If what is called 'normal' is so great, why is it wrecking our 
planet's ecosystem and crushing billions in poverty?

All are welcome. While a majority of MFI's members identify as 
survivors of abuse in the mental health system, members include family 
members, advocates and concerned mental health workers.

That means YOUR membership and donation are crucial to MindFreedom 
International's campaigns for human rights and alternatives.
