Save Best Buddies

Looking for support for Best Buddies staff who seek support around racial justice and want their voices hear. #ResignAKS

[Save Best Buddies @SaveBBStaff]

And, @AnthonyKShriver, let us not forget when you made the organization partner with Chris Brown after we were all aware of his history of abusing women. Triggering for staff, participants, etc. https://t.co/tPQULzxs2a

[Save Best Buddies @SaveBBStaff]

This man shows zero leadership. Never has and staff have lost confidence that he ever will. We need support from the community to make him realize his time is up. @MiamiHerald, @BostonGlobe can you help us?

[Save Best Buddies @SaveBBStaff]

. @AnthonyKShriver Remember in 2008 when the Black Eyed Peas performed at Hearst Castle Challenge and they sang the words "Let's get ret*rded" at your event to support enhancing the lives of ppl with IDD? No? Here, thankfully someone caught it on video: https://t.co/7JZQro6H11

Hey @TomBrady @jaytatum0 @BostonGlobe @MiamiHerald @nytimes is this the kind of leader you want to support? He refuses to utter the words #blacklivesmatter. He refuses to listen to staff who are begging to be heard around racial justice issues in the org. He has to go. Help us.

Hey, @AnthonyKShriver. I'm back. Just want to fill our friends in on the fact that @bestbuddies staff is ANGRY. They demanded that you say #BlackLivesMatter and you responded with this. Total. Flaming. Garbage. Pt 1. #BestBuddiesSpeaksOut

[Save Best Buddies @SaveBBStaff]

Also folks, listen to the end for the line "Nobody alive has done more...." ARE YOU SERIOUS???

[Save Best Buddies @SaveBBStaff]

. @AnthonyKShriver this video is beyond offensive. Your defensive and angry demeanor are in line with all of your past behavior and staff have had enough.

Claiming that the work of your family before you means anything at all about what you should be doing as a community leader is apalling. The work of JFK and Bobby Kennedy has nothing to do with you.

@DoBetterBestBu1 You’re back!

[Rogue Best Buddies Staff @RogueBBStaff]

Yiiiiikes. Literally the ONLY company/org I’ve seen selling masks to benefit themselves and not COVID relief efforts...

[Save Best Buddies @SaveBBStaff]

@AnthonyKShriver you need to understand that for each of us speaking out, there are so many more behind us, afraid to speak up because of the culture of fear you have created in this org. You are not a leader, you're a boss. Big difference. #bestbuddiespeaksout

Hi @AnthonyKShriver 🖐️We're still here. We're still angry. Every day more people reach out to us with words of support. We all want transparency, we want equitable practices, we want our work to be valued. We need a change in leadership to make that happen. #BestBuddiesSpeaksOut

@RogueBBStaff @formerbbemploy1 @bestbuddies “Cash is King”

[Save Best Buddies @SaveBBStaff]

@formerbbemploy1 @RogueBBStaff Again, corrupt and a serious and pathological case of Founder's Syndrome that plagues the organization...

[Save Best Buddies @SaveBBStaff]

What power you wield, @AnthonyKShriver, and how you abuse it. Shame on you.

[Save Best Buddies @SaveBBStaff]

Well, tomorrow’s the last day of this week because if #GoodFriday, which for some reason @bestbuddies gets off. Hundreds of staff sitting home tonight, wondering if they’re on “the list” of layoffs/furloughs tomorrow.

[BB Protest Mass Layoffs @BbLayoffs]

While @bestbuddies was tweeting this, @AnthonyKShriver was compiling a list of staff to lay off. Unfortunately, if you reach out to your #BestBuddies staff contact, there is no guarantee that they're still here. #BestBuddiesSpeaksOut

[Save Best Buddies @SaveBBStaff]

The amount of staff you are cutting every day is making it so that this organization is not going to be able to deliver the services promised to participants & to funders. @AnthonyKShriver, why keep this up? #bestbuddiesspeaksout

[BB Protest Mass Layoffs @BbLayoffs]

https://t.co/9vzhKpLa4e @AnthonyKShriver, this says you sold your house this year for $8.5M. When added to your $370K annual salary, I can't help but wonder, again, why you refuse to take a cut in your salary during this public health emergency to help staff keep their jobs?

[Save Best Buddies @SaveBBStaff]

I see that you made your account private, @DavidQuilleon. Feel free to block me and the others, it is 0% shocking that you want to block us out & pretend we aren't talking about this & that you aren't involved. Use your power to stop this! #bestbuddiespseaksout
