It’s Autistics Speaking Day - and the first day of our gala! We’re so excited to kick off our virtual celebration of self advocacy [[link removed]] . Today is dedicated to fighting back. We need to continue to speak out against the electric shock devices still in use at the Judge Rotenberg Center. We need to take action this month to Stop The Shock! Our webinar [[link removed]] tonight at 7pm Eastern time will update you on what we’ve done so far this year, and how we’re going to finish the year strong with a new legislative opportunity. And we’ll talk about how our community can take action!
The event will be held live on Zoom, [[link removed]] but will also be streamed to YouTube [[link removed]] . The event will remain on our YouTube channel after the event.
