MAD PRIDE DAY 14th July 2009
Information about Mad Pride and Mad Pride Day on
http://www.mindfreedom.org/campaign/madpride
Mad Pride may be celebrated anytime but is most often observed in the month of July, usually on or around July 14, Bastille Day. The tradition of using Bastille Day as Mad Pride Day was started in New York by the Mental Patients Liberation Alliance and has since spread around the world. The 14th of July marks the anniversary of the storming of the Bastille in Paris, France in 1789. For over the past two centuries, the storming of the Bastille has been a universal symbol of liberation. In addition, when the Bastille was stormed, two prisoners with psychiatric labels being detained there for that reason were freed.
Day of Rememberance for People With Psychiatric Labels Who Died in the Holocaust
http://www.oikos.org/remholocaust.htm
PROCLAMATION NAMES DECEMBER 29 AS:
"A Day of Remembrance for People Labeled with Psychiatric Disabilities Forgotten in the Holocaust."
Harold A. Maio of Florida had an idea: Why not remember people who were labeled with psychiatric disabilities who died in the Holocaust? After all, historically this was the very first large group to die in gas chambers... yet to a large extent this well-documented fact is often forgotten.
For many reasons, Harold chose December 29.
Today, MindFreedom Support Coalition International also officially endorses the proclamation, a copy of which is below (with slight editing changes approved today by Harold). MindFreedom unites 100 grassroots groups.
Harold is keeping track of endorsements, and can be reached at khmaio@earthlink.net
BELOW is the proclamation. You can help the world remember -- never forget, never again! Please circulate and ask for endorsements.

PROCLAMATION: December 29
A Day of Remembrance for People Labeled with Psychiatric Disabilities Forgotten in the Holocaust.
WHEREAS, in December of 1939 a group of people removed from German psychiatric institutions under the supervision of doctors in Nazi Germany entered the first gas chamber and perished,
WHEREAS, in the years following these murders, gas chambers were installed in many German psychiatric institutions, where hundreds of thousands perished,
WHEREAS, history has largely neglected the murders of these people,
WHEREAS, gas chambers were then installed in concentration camps throughout Europe, where millions were murdered,
THEREFORE:
We do recognize and preserve the honor of those whose lives were taken that first day and do declare this a day of remembrance for those first victims, and do pledge our honor that this day shall memorialize the deaths of those first victims of what became the Holocaust:
December 29, 2002.
