BELOW are two MindFreedom Shield Alerts to defend human rights in
mental health.

Your action via the web can help stop forcible psychiatric drugging
in NY & Wisc.

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

(1) Alert: Say 'NO' to NY Forced Psychiatric Drugging of 'Ann L'

New York State Citizen to be Forcibly Drugged on Outpatient Basis.

Ann L. spent years locked up in Pilgrim Psychiatric Center. She is
now in a nearby community residence.

New York State is aggressively pushing for more forced drugging of
Ann L. on an outpatient basis in her own community residence. Ann L.
says her continued forced psychiatric drugging makes her "sick and is
torture."

Independent human rights groups MindFreedom and PsychRights have
united to help Ann L.

(2) Alert: Wisconsin woman forced to take psychiatric drugs

Felice just wants the forced psychiatric drugging to stop.

Felice Debra Eliscu is an artist who says that years of forced
psychiatric drugging make her want to harm herself, and she wants
other alternatives provided.

Felice is a 42-year-old member and volunteer with MindFreedom
International who is currently locked up in Winnebago Mental Health
Institute near Oshkosh, Wisconsin.

Such forced drugging happens to thousands of Americans each year. But
Felice is signed up on the MindFreedom Shield, which means that when
threatened by forced psychiatry she can activate an alert network
reaching hundreds of MindFreedom members.

Felice is activating the MindFreedom Shield, and asking everyone to
contact the Governor of Wisconsin via the web.
