Just as with other intersections of identity in today's society, people with disabilities and who also identify as LGBTIQA+ are an incredibly diverse group. There are similarities within this group in that people who have a disability and who identify as LGBTIQA+ often feel marginalized within both the disability communities as well as within the LGBTIQA+ communities. Join us as we chat with Zuleny to queer up this conversation.#queerandautistic #disabilityqueercommunity #lgbtq #pride #autismsprinter

During the entire month of April, you'll hear about autism-oriented fundraisers, autism awareness presentations, autism-friendly happenings, and special opportunities to recognize people on the autism spectrum.

Autism Sprinter will be celebrating this day through a live stream dialogue with parents who will help you understand the real definition of #awareness and #acceptance.

While others will be lighting it blue, we will be highlighting the cultural perspective of autism awareness in our households.

Join us as we discuss equity during these unprecedented times. Ms. Bazile has expressed anger over recent  budget cuts within Boston Public Schools , where she addressed the big elephant in the room during a  “equity roundtable”  on Zoom.

Edith is concerned how much more harder it will be to close the achievement gap especially in communities of color. Join us while we think about equity for our students in marginalized communities. This pandemic has only exposed the ugly truth of racial and social inequities, take a listen while we keep it real.
