Mobilizing philanthropy toward disability inclusion, rights, and justice

A Call for Solidarity: Funding Autistic Autonomy

Graphic for a Disability & Philanthropy Forum blog post by s.e. smith titled, "When 'Make America Healthy Again' Translates to Attacks on Autistic Communities." Featuring an illustration of three BIPOC friends enjoying a planetarium show together, all sitting and wearing a variety of masks and colorful summer outfits. In the group: an Afro-Latina woman who’s an arm amputee, a Black Autistic person holding a star-shaped fidget, and an invisibly disabled Asian femme. Stars twinkle in the overhead dome as soft purple light fills the room and an air purifier hums in the background.
