I'm torn. I love CafePress . I mean love. I have many of their products. CafePress is having a promotion in acknowledgement of Autism Awareness month. A portion of the proceeds for their "Autism gear" will go to Autism Speaks. Yeah, Autism Speaks.
At first, I was all "heck no, I can't support that". Then I was all "I wonder why they chose Autism Speaks"? Now I'm all "I wonder if they even know anything about Autism Speaks versus any other Autism organization such as the ASAN or Autism Society ?"
I've decided to post this anyway, because as an Autism advocate, I feel it is my job to help educate. I sent a response email to the woman who originally contacted me, asking why CafePress decided to support Autism Speaks (among other things). Sadly, I have not received a response as of yet.
So. You may support Autism Speaks. You may not. It's obviously your choice to make. It's also your choice whether to buy from CafePress during this promotion or not. Maybe even shoot them an email. I did.
