Utne names David Oaks one of 50 Visionaries for 2009

Utne's listing of David Oaks also zings ABC-TV's recent national news coverage of the "mad pride movement," which has been widely criticized by activists.

Said David Oaks, "Utne is one of the few media leaders to acknowledge the 'mad movement' to deeply change the mental health system. Utne is really recognizing our whole movement's vision. This shows we are still connected to all the other movements for social and environmental justice, just as when our movement first started. Can we have a nonviolent revolution now?"
