Ratify UN Treaty on Disability Human Rights!

MindFreedom International had a team led by MFI board president Celia
Brown inside the United Nations for several years worked in a spirit
of mutual cooperation with disability groups from all over the world.

The result was a United Nations treaty on disability rights that
could also help people in the mental health system. But now that
treaty needs to be ratified by nations all over the world. Disability
activists have created a campaign to win that ratification. Here's a
news release for the campaign and web site, RatifyNow.
