NEUROMANCERS is an abolitionist community organisation for and by neurodivergents.
NEUROMANCE = FALL IN LOVE WITH (NEURO)DIVERGENCY |
NEUROMANCE = FALL IN LOVE WITH (NEURO)DIVERGENCY |
To NEUROMANCE means to “fall in love with (neuro)divergency”.
As mad, mentally ill, neurodivergent, and disabled people (MMIND) who have been harmed by psychiatry and the medical industrial complex, to re-claim our own self-determination and fall in love with such divergent madness is liberating.
Our Goal:
Community Healing + Political Education
We are an organised and politicised community, promoting healing and resistance outside of, and in active opposition, to psychiatry’s pathologisation of neurodivergent people.
Our Programs & Offerings
-
Creative Expression
Human bodies and minds, like all animals, are beautifully creative. NEUROMANCERS runs a multi-media digital magazine and develops zines throughout the year as a platform for divergent artistry.
-
Peer Solidarity
Peer Solidarity is an explicitly politicised elevation of peer support: community healing + political education. We run Constellations (Peer Solidarity groups), 1:1 support, workshops, and other events for our community.
-
Mutual Aid
As a Black-led organisation, we recognise the need for mutual aid and wealth redistribution through personal reparations. NEUROMANCERS offers monthly mini-grants to BPOC, builds community through non-financial aid, and hosts a directory of holistic care-workers.
-
Leadership Building
In our community, everyone is a leader. We take responsibility for ourselves and each other. We have been abandoned by “healthcare” systems: we will not abandon ourselves. Contribute via donation, collaboration, or by joining our team.
