Google Video How do to a simple "normality screening" skit.
An easy way to participate in the IAACM is to do a simple skit to "screen for normality," similar to an airport screening. Developed by Patch Adams clown troupe in Florence, Italy, you just need a few simple props. You can then screen your willing colleagues, friends, relatives and even strangers. If you video and upload your skit, tag it as IAACM. Just be sure to follow MLK nonviolence guidelines. This video is less than three minutes.
Google Video Normality screening hits the streets
Here's the same skit about how to screen normality, but taking it to the streets. This one was done in the middle of downtown Eugene, in front of a statue remembering Ken Kesey, who wrote the book One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. Bullhorn optional. MindFreedom has conducted more than 1,000 such screenings. So far no normality has been discovered.

Loretta Wilson: Electroshock survivor and MindFreedom Michigan liaison

I joined MindFreedom after learning about the Ray Sandford campaign. It was so good to find a group with a common goal. Feeling the support, knowing I'm not alone has been very comforting. It was such a relief to find this organization. Keep up the good work! I am a survivor of 58 electroshocks with a strong desire to see electroshock abolished. I am willing to talk to anyone who is willing to listen. I have even talked to some who don't want to hear about it! I had post-procedure pain from my electroshock. I struggle daily with memory loss from electroshock. I am 69 years old, widowed, mother of 5, grandmother of 7 and great grandma to my new baby girl, 'Sophie.' She's beautiful!
