%X This study considers the strategies the National Alliance for Mental Illness (NAMI) uses to advocate for those living with mental illness in the United States. As a grassroots organization, NAMI works to achieve social equity for that population by redressing injustices that are based on stigma. I illustrate the ways in which NAMI defines the injustices of stigma as problems of both maldistribution and misrecognition in ways that hearken to Nancy Fraser¡¯s arguments for the need to treat distribution and recognition as integrally interconnected in creating social problems. Throughout the article, I use Fraser¡¯s analytical framework to analyse how the organization works to remedy those two injustices through affirmative, transformative, and non-reformist reform strategies. The effective and insightful use of these strategies makes them a good example for other organizations
