Registration for the annual Walk for Autism Speaks starts at 8:00am. I would like to have protesters out BEFORE registration begins so we can tell them why they should give their money to another Autism organization, ANY other Autism organization. Autism Speaks continues to portray all Autistic people as being without a voice, potentially aggressive, and pursues research goals that are not in our best interests, including genetics research with the eradication of Autism as their end goal, universally wiping out those of us with more mild cases as well as the more severely affected. Bring your protest signs, your water, possibly as sweater, and your temper. THERE WILL BE NO SWEARING ON OUR END. If you have difficulty holding your temper, I suggest leaving early or putting tape across your mouth with a sign saying that Autism Speaks won't let Autistics Speak! Tempe Beach Park (technically, the three corners across from it, which is the Northwest corner of Mill and Rio Salado). There are a number of parking garages by the park.
