Who Do You Advocate For?

I advocate for my son Charlie. 

I have from day one and will continue for as long as I need.  Advocacy is rarely easy, but it's fundamental to a child or adult with special needs.  

I advocate for services.  I advocate for inclusion.  I advocate for awareness.  I advocate for love and acceptance.  I advocate for human decency.  I advocate for justice.  

I advocate for my child, my friend's children, I advocate for all of those who will come long after us.  I advocate for friends, met or unmet.  I advocate for a complete stranger.  Because at the end of the day, they need to know someone is in their corner.  

Who do you advocate for?

Today there will be the biggest and most amazing outpouring of support and advocacy in the special needs community.  

The special needs community has come together and made a video that will be released today on social media in support of Macade, the little boy in Ohio who suffered at the hands of one of his teachers. 

But you can help too.  

Take a picture (black & white) and make a sign like this one with the name of who you advocate for.  Anyone can join.  Post it on your social media sites with the following hashtags:
