Call for Submissions to Mad Pride Toronto 2013 – PLEASE SHARE WIDELY

 

Monday, July 8 to Sunday, July 14

Mad Pride is an arts, culture, and heritage festival created by psychiatric survivors, consumers, mad people, folks the world has labeled “mentally ill”, and those in solidarity with us.

 

Mad Pride is about:

•           remembering and participating in mad history

•           challenging discrimination

•           advocating for rights

•           affirming mad identities

•           developing and empowering mad communities

•           having fun! 

 

Our lives and contributions are valuable and need celebration!
