Dear Friends,

We are thrilled to announce the launch of "Listen Up (Katie)", the second of two public service announcements that we've created for Autism Acceptance Month. This is a brand new public service announcement featuring Katie Miller, one of ASAN's board members, telling the world that the Autistic community can speak for itself:

"Listen Up (Katie)" is on YouTube right now. We're asking for your help to create enough buzz and pressure across social media to get both of our PSAs on air for Autism Acceptance Month. Watch it, share it, and help us make it go viral. If you want to see our PSAs on television, you can visit the Autism Acceptance Month website for detailed information and instructions. This is your chance to help us spread the message of autism acceptance nationally, and we need every one of you to contribute:

Help us change the national conversation on autism from one that largely occurs without autistic people to a conversation that frames our voices as central. Acceptance is an action, as we've been saying all month, and now it's time for us to take action and reclaim our seat at the table.

We're very excited about our PSAs, about autism acceptance, and about the prospect of seeing our messages aired on television and virally online. So listen up! Together, we can change the national conversation on autism!

Regards,

That is beautiful. Brought tears to my eyes-- and tears of pride/hope/joy/whatever positive are pretty scarce around here.

Other than generating hits, what can I do to help get it out there???
