Autistics United to Protest VAXXED II Screenings

Autistics United Canada chapters will be protesting VAXXED II screenings in Nova Scotia and BC. 

VAXXED II: The People's Truth is an anti-vaccination and anti-autistic film that is screening in several countries, including Canada. Autistics United is calling autistic and allies together to protest this film. We strongly object to the use of disabled people as props for fearmongering and pseudoscience.

Victoria, BC (Feb. 1 & 15): https://www.facebook.com/events/208999346901084/

For those who cannot protest in person, there are ways to take action by calling and emailing the venues. Please see the Facebook events for more information and scripts!

#RatherBeAutisticThanDead
