Today, March 1st, is the day we remember the victims of filicide. In the past 5 years, over 180 people with disabilities, people just like me and those I love, have been murdered by their parents for being different. I am filled with sadness every time I think about it. Please visit the online memorial to find out more about how you can help stop this. #ddom2016 #disability #disabilityawareness #actuallyautistic

Edit: For those in Australia, please visit this site to write to your local MP about ending the violence against people with disabilities.

For those like me living outside of the US, or those who can’t get to a vigil, there is one online here as well as a link to physical vigil sites: https://www.facebook.com/events/1726468137594861/
