Mad Medusa is comprised of activists and advocates who work in the mental health fields, make their living off of creating art and bringing people together, and other community members of various, magical backgrounds who want to make a difference. The myth of Medusa, whose name means "guardian," represents every woman, girl, and uterus-carrier, as she was punished simply for being desired by Poseidon. Her inherent power in the face of unfairness offers us inspiration. This is our first fundraising effort, and our plan is it will not be our last.
