4/4: Either directly or indirectly, @KevinHart4real benefited from the appearance of people with #NMD. Hart was either paid, or his charity received a portion of the funds raised. Did people donating know that part of their $ was going to #EndTheTelethon #TurnOffPity

3/4: @KevinHart4real didn't host this event for free, and undeniably people with neuromuscular disabilities were featured to advance the request for donations. To me, this looks exploitive. #EndTheTelethon #TurnOffPity

2/4: One of the central criticisms of this type of fundraising is that it promotes #Exploitation of the disabled people featured. MDA says that the telethon is "reimagined" but I don't see how that can be true… #EndTheTelethon #TurnOffPity

1/4: Concerning the recent telethon, one thing missing from the news coverage & social media , is a description of the financial terms of the agreement between @KevinHart4real and @MDAorg. #EndTheTelethon #TurnOffPity

Today there were 2 online events, #MDAKevinHartTelethon and @sinsinvalid’s #WeLoveLikeBarnacles They couldn’t be more different in how they frame disability and the messages they share about the lived experience #SuckItAbleism #DisabilityJustice #TurnOffPity

Cada vez que veo a algún actor/personaje famoso/whatever tuitear sobre el #MDAKevinHartTelethon se me cae el alma a los pies. Es ver cómo cualquier cosa conseguida nos la pueden quitar en un abrir y cerrar de ojos. Qué horror que lo hayan resucitado. #EndTheTelethon #TurnOffPity

By @kudlick of @LongmoreInst “... don’t be lulled into thinking “mission accomplished.” Pair this with learning more about what disabled people are doing in the arts, politics, and education to make society better,...” #EndTheTelethon #TurnOffPity
