Bed-In: STOP RFK Jr's Autism Registry Virtual Rally Update

Event Announcement

This promotional image announces a "Bed-In: STOP RFK Jr's Autism Registry" event organized by Disability Community for Democracy, Inc. The event is scheduled for Saturday, July 12, 2025, from 1:00 to 4:00 PM Eastern Time and will take place on Zoom. The image includes four QR codes, each with a corresponding label: "Registration," "ASL Interpreter Donation," "Volunteer Sign-Up," and "No Autism Registry T-Shirt." These QR codes likely link to pages where individuals can register for the event, donate to support ASL interpretation services, sign up to volunteer, and purchase a T-shirt with the event's slogan. At the bottom of the image are two logos. The first is the Disability Community for Democracy, Inc. logo, which depicts three hands raised in solidarity. The second logo is the sign for "help". The overall color scheme features purple, complemented by white text and graphics, to create a visually appealing and informative promotional image.

The Bed-In: STOP RFK Jr's Autism Registry virtual rally is scheduled for Saturday, July 12th, from 1:00 to 4:00 PM. This virtual rally is part of our three-pronged approach to stop the Autism Registry. We will have ASL interpretation available. However, we still need your help to make this event successful. If you're free on Saturday, July 12th, please register for the event. Additionally, we need tech-savvy individuals with experience hosting Zoom webinars, serving as chat hosts, and willing to promote the event. Please sign up here. Anyone volunteering for tech support and chat hosting is required to attend our final planning meeting on Monday, July 7th, at 7:00 PM Eastern Time via Zoom. Lastly, suppose you cannot participate in the rally but would like to help. In that case, you can do so by donating through this link or purchasing a No Autism Registry t-shirt to help cover the cost of ASL interpretation, which is approximately $1,350. We do not receive any grants; our work depends solely on donations and merchandise sales.

The image shows a black T-shirt with a message printed on the front. The words "Autism Registry" are written in white letters, with a thick red X crossing them out. Below this, the words "Disability Community for Democracy, Inc." are written in a smaller font, accompanied by a logo featuring two hands holding each other. The T-shirt is neatly laid out on a white background, with its sleeves slightly extended to the sides. The lighting is well-balanced, highlighting the text and logo on the shirt.

RFK Jr. is continuing to advocate for an autism registry, but concerns have been raised that such measures resemble dangerous policies from Nazi Germany. Disability Community for Democracy asserts that this registry could potentially be expanded to encompass all individuals with disabilities. It is not necessary to establish an autism registry to investigate the causes of autism. We must consistently oppose ableism in all its forms, as silence equates to complicity.
