White text in a red circle that says "Aug 31"] The fourth annual International Day of Protest Against ABA is happening on August 31st, 2021. Join us online to protest ABA and other abusive "interventions" often used on autistic children and adults. RSVP and share our Facebook event page: https://www.facebook.com/events/1518611075170759 As in previous years, this event will take place online, primarily through social media. We invite autistic people and allies to share or retweet writings, videos, and art by ABA survivors, neurotypical and autistic parents of autistic children, and former ABA therapists. Suggested tags: #ProtestABADay #SayNoToABA #MoreWaysThanABA #YesAllABA Want to submit a piece of writing, art, or other media about ABA to be shared on our @ProtestABA Facebook page? Send it to us at [email protected] by Aug. 31! Previously written/created work is accepted. Please include image descriptions and captions in your submissions, or reach out to us if you need help with them. As disabled communities renew calls to #StopTheShock at the Judge Rotenberg Center in Massachusetts, United States, following the FDA ban being overturned by a federal appeals court last month, we join global efforts to end sanctioned torture against disabled children and adults in the name of behavioural "treatment".
