Since the mid-1990s, the Ontario Coalition Against Poverty (OCAP) has been a major anti-poverty organization speaking out and taking direct action for homeless and other poor people. Many of these brothers and sisters were and are psychiatric survivors, people labeled and stigmatized as "mentally ill," people who have been and still are locked up, forcibly drugged, electroshocked, traumatized and dehumanized in Ontario's psycho-prisons (all psychiatric facilities).
