More Info
Join us as we protest the Autism Speaks walk on Sunday, October 9 from 8:30am to 12:00pm. We are actively looking for fellow protesters -- come one, come all!

We will be protesting Autism Speaks' lack of community support, its support for eugenics, its unethical advertising practices, its failure to include Autistic people in its decision-making processes, and its failure to spend money in ways that help Autistic people across the life-span.

The protest will take place at the corner of Fred Taylor and Borror Drive (called Arena Dr. on google maps), right by the 4-H Center.

Hey, there is a walk near me later in October. How might I get involved in doing something similiar and does ASAN offer any kind of information to pass out at such events?
