This was an impressive and inspiring day for the UK user/survivor movement
Hundreds of service users and survivors joined together to demand that their human rights
be protected in a joyful and peaceful march on Saturday September 14th.
We thought about it for a few minutes and decided that although the MHA may believe that:
"the risks to participants of going
ahead were simply too high."
There was absolutely no evidence for this
On the contrary - we were supported by 1000's of the British public who lined the
route to the old Bedlam gardens. Now we won't stop until we stop the Bill - and create the mental
health services that we want and need.
Our thanks are due to senior MACA staff, the Critical Psychiatry Network
and some local MIND associations who made a point of supporting us.
Our appreciation also to the South Birmingham Mental Health Trust who provided transport
so that local people could attend the march.
Now we won't stop until we stop the Bill - and create the mental
health services that we want and need.
Support NO Force at the Lobby on October 23rd....more details to come!
