Alt-Text: A Banner at the top reads ‘Mad Patient Strike’ in red, outlined in white, against grey striped bars. Beneath this is a black strip of waves, with a red heraldic wolf with a pattern of white flowers over the top. Three greyscale photos are reproduced on the poster, bordered in red: an image of a tower block, an image of lightning striking and causing an explosion, and an image of a row of hospital beds and a nurse standing over them. Red text reads: Strike, Thursday 3rd Feb 2033, Stand in Solidarity. Beneath this a black strip of waves is at the bottom of the page, and white text over the top reads: We don’t need psychiatrists. Psychiatrists need us.
