Donation request–Autistic People of Color’s Fund
Hi all! As you may or may not know, I’m also a social media volunteer for the Autistic Women & Nonbinary Network (AWN Network). One of the community resources we make available is the Fund for Reparations for Autistic People of Color’s Interdependence, Survival, and Empowerment (or the Autistic People of Color’s Fund for short). The fund exists to provide direct, individual financial aid to autistic people of color for a variety of needs, due to the disproportionate barriers accessing services and community support often faced by autistic people of color.
In the past week or so, we have received a record number of applications for assistance.
I and many other autistic people have written often about how the financial priorities of the biggest and most visible autism organizations fail to support our actual well-being. If you’re able and would like to contribute in a way that will support the quality of life of autistic people materially and very, very immediately, the link for more information and how to donate is here.
