Dear John ,

This month marks the 30th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act, a landmark civil rights bill for people with disabilities. At ASAN, we’re celebrating in many ways, including by launching our new action center [[link removed]] and sharing our accessible resources [[link removed]] to help people with disabilities make a difference on the issues that matter most to us. We’re also launching a new and improved membership program [[link removed]] to keep ASAN’s work going for decades to come, and to thank the community members who make our work possible.

These monthly membership plans come with special perks [[link removed]] such as a digital membership card or exclusive ASAN merch. Each one is named after a special interest shared by some autistic people, to celebrate autistic culture. Want to learn more about the tiers? Check out our membership page here [[link removed]] .

(If a monthly membership isn’t for you, but you still want to donate to support our work, you can do so here [[link removed]] !)

Our community makes all of our projects possible. This year alone, we’ve:
