"I wish you the best of luck in organising Mad Pride: the first step in any liberation movement has always been pride, and if users and survivors are now taking that step for themselves than that can only be good news." Jonathan Freedland – Guardian columnist "MAD PRIDE sounds like a great project" – Chumbawumba (I get knocked down … get up again) "Countering prejudice with art is a way to further the social inclusion of people who experience mood swings, fear, voices and visions. I like the idea of launching the millennium with Mad Pride." - Sylvia Caras, Coordinator: People Who Net "Your MAD PRIDE organization and web site form a real model for the psychiatric survivor movement, with your combination of bold vision and clarity of information. This project does my heart good -- it gives me hope that we can quicken the day psychiatric survivors will be at the table with all the other social change movements. It looks like we'll be entering the 30th year of this phase of the psychiatric survivor liberation movement with more MAD PRIDE than ever. I look forward to Support Coalition and MAD PRIDE offering each other mutual support. Anything we can do to help support your call for pride days next year, just give the word." - David Oaks, Support Coalition International
