ABC-TV has announced that they plan to run a piece about the MAD PRIDE movement, including a number of groups in MindFreedom International’s coalition, on one of their national news magazine shows. David Oaks, director of MindFreedom International, was interviewed for the show, along with a number of members and allies.

The MAD PRIDE segment is tentatively scheduled for this Tuesday, 25 August 2009, on Primetime’s “Outsiders” series. For times, check your local listings. (In Eugene, Oregon it’s scheduled for 10 pm.)

“There’s no guarantee on the results,” said David, “but this is a chance to reach a wider diversity of the public about the existence of MAD PRIDE.”
