Facebook likes to discriminate by not letting us put text descriptions in boosted ad thumbnails.
Here's the text description for the two boosted ads the #criparmy is running for this campaign.
Why Disabled People Don't Like Steptember. [Image a sepia image of a wheelchair in front of some stairs followed by text] What is Steptember? Steptember is a fundraiser run by the Cerebral Palsy Alliance that asks people to 'step up' to raise funds for their service. It is considered inappropriate and demeaning. Why is the Steptember campaign considered offensive? It asks people without disability to do things for and to us, not with us. It uses messaging that is inappropriate - for example, an image of a puppy struggling to climb steps, then posing the question 'why can't you?' It perpetuates the myth that disabled people are pitiful victims.
