Friday, May 28 5:00-6:00 pm Take Back Our Rights! Louise Kuo Habakus and Mary Holland, Esq. Are you fed up with the way the world treats autism? Doctors who tell us there is no hope, schools that offer nothing, insurance companies that fail us, media that marginalizes us, courthouses slamming doors in our faces, state governments that keep piling on new vaccines, and a federal government that is tone deaf? Well, we are fed up! So we are organizing - and we want YOU to join us. Come learn how to turn the fight for our kids' recovery into a mainstream American movement for justice and freedom. We will talk about the tools to get to the truth out and to fight for real choice for vaccines for ourselves and our children. Join Louise Kuo Habakus, Age of Autism's Person of the Year, and Mary Holland, Esq., to learn how to become the advocates for change that we so desperately need. Louise has spearheaded many rallies for vaccination choice, including one on the steps of the New Jersey legislature that garnered national news headlines and led the way to the incumbent governor's defeat. Mary has represented the autism and vaccination choice communities in friend-of-the-court briefs in the two of the most important vaccine and autism cases ever - one before the Supreme Court and one in an appeal from the Omnibus Autism Proceeding - giving legal voice to the indignation of our communities. Together, Louise and Mary will preview Saturday's boot camp advocacy training workshop, including a sneak peek at the Meeting-in-a-Box, role plays to overcome fear and resistance, and plans for fifty-state organizing so that we can take back our rights. We'll help you take our issues to the front lines in our communities. We'll talk about the American Rally for Personal Rights, and the mission and goals of the Center for Personal Rights to continue its mission. Check out www.americanpersonalrights.org - and come organize! Saturday, May 29 1:45-2:45 & 3:00-6:00 pm Join Louise Kuo Habakus, Dr. Larry Palevsky, Mary Holland, Esq., Becky Estepp, Christina Blakey, and more for a lively presentation on effective grassroots advocacy. You will be provided with tools, like "Meeting-in-a-Box," and opportunities to start your own initiatives to improve conditions in your home state. More details to follow. |
