Mind Freedom Info on Virginia Tech

Many national media are running one-sided shows calling for more
forced psychiatric drugging, more psychiatric institutions, and
easier commitment laws. This is a wrong and too-simplistic reply to
the Virginia Tech tragedies.

MindFreedom asks media to cover *both* sides of the story! On the
forced drugging issues, let's especially hear from people on the
"sharp end of the needle"!

MFI has created an online Info Center with updates about mental
health issues arising from the Virginia Tech tragedy, such as:

National Public Radio will air psychiatric survivor perspective!

On Tuesday, 24 April 2007 at 2 pm ET, MindFreedom director David Oaks
will discuss his own experiences with forced psychiatric drugging on
the National Public Radio live radio national show "Talk of the
Nation." After David's and other's personal stories, there will be an
open call-in show where you can comment. For info on the show see
