Support ASAU, sign our petition: https://buff.ly/3E7moUS
a picture of a car turning rapidly to exit the highway. Sign on the overpass has an arrow pointing forward that says "Voluntarily recognizing all of ASAU" and an arrow pointing towards the exit saying "Hiring a union buster and trying to exclude multiple ASAU members." The car is labelled ASAU leadership.

ASAU is very excited to share that ASAN’s Executive Director, Managers, and Board of Trustees have granted us voluntary recognition! Now that we are an official union, we can do more work to make ASAN better.

I wrote about how neighbors can play a role in helping disabled and aging people plan for and evacuate when wildfires hit at @motherjones.com.

Your local government isn't ready to evacuate disabled people
California's fire-prone counties left people to die. Other communities don't have to.

Hi, we're about $851 CA away from hitting 2 million CAD in Crips for E Sims. This is wild. We've also had a big dip in donations lately, understandably from monies going to LA mutual aid. If you can chip in or repost, it really helps. chuffed.org/project/crip... and paypal link 4 US is in there.
Crips for eSims for Gaza
Crips for eSims for Gaza is a collaboration between Jane Shi, Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha, and Alice Wong.

Alex is excited to unionize with ASAN in order to bring "Nothing about us without us" fully into the heart of ASAN!
Light green background with a pink circles and curved lines. In the top right corner, there is a circular picture of Alex (white person smiling with glasses and a black hat. They are wearing a white, green, and red keffiyeh and are outside). Text reads: Alex Grandstaff, they/them, Program Manager. "The rallying cry of the autistic self-advocacy movement has been "Nothing about us without us." Every day, ASAN lives that mission by fighting for better public policy, better research, and better programs, ones that are build with autistic people, not around us. By unionizing, I believe ASAU will bring "Nothing about us without us" fully into the heart of ASAN."

Check out why ASAN staff member Mar is excited to unionize!
Light pink background with green circles an circular lines. In the bottom right corner, there is a circular picture of Mar (Asian and white person with short black hair smiling and wearing a red, green, and white keffiyeh in front of trees). Text reads: "As an autistic person of color (amongst other marginalized identities), I face combinations of ableism and racism everywhere I've worked. It's unfortunate that disability rights organizations are historically and currently white dominated spaces. Unionizing is a way to promote equity of all types in the workplace through things like pay equity and other protections. I hope that in unionizing, we can build a more equitable future for ASAN and pave the way for other disability orgs and disabled workers to unionize and do the same!"
