Poster kids...

A bunch of people are gathered at some sort of a meeting to
tell about the problems with their special gifts.

People don't want us to exist. And
turning us into poster kids (making them famous?) isn't gonna change that.

Poster child is an idiom. It comes from the charity organizations that ask people for money. Every year, they pick one child that exemplifies the affliction and use this child's picture on their solicitation material ( one type of this material is a poster).
