* Of his listing in the 2010 Utne Reader, David W. Oaks said, “Utne is one of the few media leaders to acknowledge the ‘mad movement’ to deeply change the mental health system. Utne is really recognizing our whole movement’s vision. This shows we are still connected to all the other movements for social and environmental justice, just as when our movement first started. Can we have a nonviolent revolution now?”
