NOTE: – Inclusion on this list should not suggest that there are not policy and perspective disagreements with the referenced pages. DJP’s view is that the ACLU has become too absorbed in certain socio-political crusades and high-profile media controversies instead of focusing on advocating for civil liberties, and has become a ‘frenemy’ of people with serious brain function disorders (so-called mental illness) with their die-with-your-rights-on activism.
DJP also joins a growing cohort of the advocacy community in strongly objecting to the misleading term “mental illness”.
