David states: “Judi was one of the first people I met in our movement way back when I walked into a storefront for a meeting of Mental Patients Liberation Front in the late 1970’s. Judi and then Justin (Dart) became friends and heroes. I well remember the circle around Justin providing a living lesson about his frequent-sign-off I LOVE YOU, LEAD ON.

All advice & feedback from everyone is welcome. Wednesday, 2 August 2023, 6 pm et, 3 pm pt. MADPRIDE Revolution in Mental Health –– Bridging Age & Other Marginalizations

David began his psychiatric survivor activism as a teen. What has he learned (if anything) from 47 years in the Mad Movement? How can we build multi-generational & other bridges? How does the mad movement help lead a Global Nonviolent Revolution that we can hopefully now see must happen very, very soon! The presentation will cover “The early years”, “MindFreedom”, “Hunger strike”, “Fallen leaders”, “Complex bridge to cross-disability”, Uniting despite divisions: Survivor/Consumer, Age, BIPOC, LGBT, Class, etc.

This is a multi-generational struggle, support marginalized voices. I Love You, Lead On!
