Autistics United Canada is hosting two community roundtables in British Columbia and Nova Scotia! We want to hear from you about your priorities, hopes, and dreams for autistic-led advocacy and support in these two provinces. There will be a presentation from Autistics United Canada organizers about who we are as a group and what we have been up to, followed by a community discussion of what people would like to see from their provincial chapter. Join to get involved and have your ideas heard! This community roundtable is open to autistic people and allies, but we will be centering autistic voices, particularly those of autistic BIPOC, LGBTQ+ autistics, autistic women, low-income autistic people, and other multiply marginalized autistic people. The two events will be held via Zoom videoconferencing, with phone-in options available. We are currently booking ASL interpretation and CART (live captioning). See below for details to register!
