Thank you for joining us for the final day of the ASAN gala! Here’s today’s schedule: Friday, November 19 2:00PM–3:30PM Panel 3: Racial Disparities in Community Living Emergencies like hurricanes or pandemics shed light on pre-existing inequalities and systemic discrimination in our society, but those inequalities have been there long before. Many essential aspects of community living, like utilities, internet access, transportation, health care, incarceration, and foster care, are forgotten, even in conversations about community living. In this panel, three community living experts will discuss how racial disparities affect who can access community living and to what degree. The event will be held live on Zoom, but will also be streamed to YouTube. The event will remain on our YouTube channel after the event. 4:00PM–5:30PM Civic Engagement Twitter Chat Excited about making changes? You can join us in talking about civic engagement on Twitter. We’ll be posting the questions and our own answers on our Twitter account, @autselfadvocacy. Make sure to use the #ASANGala hashtag! 6:00PM Closing Ceremony & Remarks from Executive Director Julia Bascom All good things must come to an end. Executive Director Julia Bascom will give the closing remarks, reflecting on the past year and the importance of self-advocacy and civic engagement. The closing remarks will wrap up another year’s celebration of advocacy and community, and refocus us to go full steam ahead next year. This event will be streamed on YouTube Premiere at 6pm EST. It will remain on our YouTube channel for anyone that can’t make it on the day. We thank you for attending our first ever virtual ASAN Gala!
