Icarus Project Five Year Anniversary

You’re INVITED:
Instigating The Icarus Project: Five Year Anniversary Party!
Community Potluck, Story-Sharing, and Performances
Saturday November 24th 6pm-9pm

AK Press Warehouse, 674-A 23rd Street, Oakland, CA
(between San Pablo and Telegraph, accessible from 19th street BART
station)

From one person’s story in the SF Bay Guardian to a blossoming
international activism & support network, The Icarus Project has
touched the lives of
thousands of people with its powerful metaphors and radical message.
Over the last five years this work has helped redefine social
conceptions of “mental illness” for a generation raised on Prozac and
“Oppositional Defiant Disorder.”

Come celebrate Mad Pride Community with a bunch of the projects
founders and behind the scenes movers and shakers that
help make the Icarus Project
happen. Come share your own story/performance about Icarus and/or
radical mental health, bring your favorite dish or thnxgiving leftovers, make a mad
pride music mix disc to listen or swap, hear tales from our recent adventures, check out new publications and
help dream up the next five years to come.

Please fwd to folks you think would want to take part. Thank you! w/
Big Mad Love on the Aspire!
