Mad Campaigns Lab is a space for NSUN members (individuals with lived experience of mental ill-health, distress, and/or trauma, as well as grassroots, user-led mental health groups). If you are not already a member, sign up for free here.
Part 2: 13th May, 4.00-5.30pm. Action session
What does solidarity look like between Mad, Disabled, and Palestinian movements? Join the NSUN team for an action session, identifying ongoing campaigns and building our own goals.
This session will be facilitated by the NSUN team. Participants will be asked to contribute, but you are welcome to join however you see fit including keeping your camera off, listening along, or participating only via the chat. This workshop is preceded by part 1 on April the 8th – attendance at both sessions is encouraged but not compulsory.
About Mad Campaigns Lab
Mad Campaigns Lab is a monthly online meet-up for folks interested in campaigning around mental healthcare, Mad liberation, and Disability justice. Free to join and open to all NSUN members, regardless of policy & campaigning experience.
Our 2026 programme focuses on issues that intersect with mental ill-health, distress, or trauma. The aim of the sessions are to:
- Expand understandings of issues which are connected to mental ill-health, distress, or trauma
- Develop a broader awareness of what ‘counts’ as mental health work
- Create spaces for knowledge sharing on mental health and Disability justice
Design campaigning goals; identifying key players and strategies for change
Who is it led by?
The space is led by Courtney Buckler (she/they), Head of Policy and Campaigns and Kieran Lewis (he/him), Rights and Migration Policy Manager. We will also be joined by other members of the NSUN team to support with tech, moderation, and access.
Group agreement
By signing up you agree to:
- Follow NSUN’s online event conduct agreement.
- Maintain confidentiality by not sharing information about Lab members, actions, or campaigns beyond the meeting.
- Not share the Zoom link/joining instructions with anybody else. Our sign-up process helps us to track how many people will be joining, and to prevent (as best as possible) the unlikely event of folks joining in bad faith.
- The full group agreement, which was developed with members at our first meeting and will be shared during the sessions and updated as and when the group feels it is necessary.
