I know that I said that I would tell you everything, but how much of everything do you really want to know?

i’m making my own post about this because no one seems to be talking about it. if there is a reason that no one is talking about this please correct me, i would very much like to be incorrect about a bunch of broadway people supporting autism speaks.

the benefit concert “arts for autism 2021”, featuring performers from popular broadway shows, supports autism speaks. as i’m sure you’re aware, it is a shitty organisation that does not believe in the autonomy of autistic people and treats it like a horrible disease. naturally, this is not good, and i feel as though the performers should be held accountable. yes, this seems to be a yearly thing, but that doesn’t make it okay. it is streaming until april 16th, please do not support it. it is disgusting that this company is still being given a platform and people seem to ignore it because it features people we like.

on their website:

as seen here, this directly benefits autism speaks. arts for autism is not some separate benefit that autism speaks is promoting. these people are actively fundraising for autism speaks.

people performing in the 2021 concert include kelli o’hara, phoenix best, jackie burns, john michael dias, adam jacobs, elizabeth stanley, libby servais, kelvin moon loh, elaine hall, mina cuesta, sarah biernacki, and stacy weiner. the host and artistic director is jacque carnahan and it was created by carnahan and michael holzer.
