[MF-NYS-NEWS] potential place for nonviolent protest and/or statement

[David Oaks]

Hi New York State people concerned about human rights and mental health:

I just heard about following event from a psychiatric survivor in  
Europe who who felt it may be a chance for people for nonviolent  
protest or a news statement:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

XVth World Congress on Psychiatric Genetics

October 7 - 11, 2007

The Marriott Marquis - Times Square New York, New York - USA

Chair: Lynn E. DeLisi, M.D. Contact: delisi76 at aol.com

Meeting Website http://www.wcpg2007.com

this is the website of their organization: http://www.ispg.net

Feel free to forward this info. Someone could hold a nonviolent  
protest. Or put out a news statement. And there's even the chance to  
ask about 'getting inside' to peacefully make a statement about  
ethics, if there's ANY openness by organizers at all...

I don't know if it is worth it, but I see the deadline for submission  
of abstracts to do a presentation is 15 May.

Disclaimers: I'm just forwarding this info. I'm not aware of any  
organizing at this time. This is not necessarily an endorsement of a  
particular strategy, etc. Just for your organizing information.

Please also note that in a few hours today (11 April) at 4 pm ET, we  
will be interviewing an expert on debunking the "genetics" myth in  
psychiatry, author/psychologist Jay Joseph, with a live call-in. You  
can hear it live today and call in live... due to technical problems  
there is a delay in getting the archives up by our producers.

One more thing: This is a public announcement list for NY State.  
Please note we also have a MindFreedom member-only DISCUSSION list on  
NY State activism in human rights and mental health. We hope some day  
there will be a MindFreedom New York!

In support,

David
