Hola Comadres,
You are cordially invited to our live show recording. We will be hosting this event in conjunction with Eurydice Roman, host of This is Your Spotlight TV Show to lead a Community Discussion Panel about Autism and Bullying for Autism Awareness Month in April.
The reason why we are picking this focus for the discussion panel is to provide an avenue for healing for our community in light of the recent incident in the Washington Heights A train station on 181st street, where three teens proceeded to beat and harass an Autistic boy on the subway in a viral video.
The Discussion Panel will consist of a presentation by Spectrum Warriors, a non-profit organization, that focuses on a program that teaches police officers how to deal with Autistic people in a time of crisis, when they are confronted by police. We also will be inviting Community Activists and City Council Members to participate in the open dialogue which will be set up in Q & A style.
The proposed date for the event would be Wednesday, April 19th, 2023 from 7pm-9pm. Event is free of charge for those in attendance. Our children are ALL WELCOME. Below you will find the event breakdown:
