PDF: You may download a letter from Oregon mental health system 6 July 2009

On 6 July 2009, Richard Harris -- on behalf of Oregon's mental health system -- sent out a letter saying the budget turned out to be not all that bad, as was feared, for Oregon's mental health system. You may download a PDF of that letter here. On this same day, David Oaks sent a letter to Mr. Harris asking "why zero?" That is, if the budget is better than thought, then why is Oregon still one of the few states to have zero funding for the state-wide voice of mental health consumers and psychiatric survivors? (You may also read the text of the letter, and David's reply, via 'related content' links at bottom.)

Rae Unzicker & Justin Dart

Rae (1948-2001) was a psychiatric survivor activist who was a key bridge-builder between the entire disability movement and our movement to change the mentalh health system. Rae championed the National Council on Disability (NCD) report, From Privileges to Rights: People Labeled with Psychiatric Disabilities Speaking For Themselves. Rae is shown here with her beloved Justin Dart (1930 - 2002), widely considered one of the key disability activists of the last century, and also a bridge builder between our movements. Both Rae and Justin were MFI members. (Photo by Cookie Gant)
