A wheelchair-using master’s student is doing this survey for her dissertation about disabled people’s experiences with accessibility on the UK high street. If you have a few minutes and could share it and/or fill it out, she’d be really grateful! qualtrics.ucl.ac.uk/jfe/form/SV_2f…

An organization that says it cares about diversity, equity, and inclusion must include disability and accessibility in its diversity plans. If an organization uses hashtags like #diversity, #equity, or #inclusion but doesn't use alt text, its diversity efforts come off as hollow.

People should be able to understand content the first time they read or hear it. No one should need a legal background or a Latin dictionary to understand a website. Users should be able to absorb content and instructions without needing to make sense of stuffy, stilted language.

Color contrast affects readability on the web and in print. It is especially important for users who are low vision or for users who are colorblind. Good color contrast means all users can see your content no matter the device they’re using or the lighting of their surroundings.

We're excited to announce our new partnership with World Institute on Disability! DJP Executive Director Jody Santos has been training WID's inaugural cohort of fellows on filmmaking using iPhone kits with accessibility features. We can't wait to see the work they produce with their new skills!

Folks, I poured my heart and soul into founding the Disability Rights Fund . If you know people who can lead on, please make sure they apply! Remember: disability intersects with so many other identities and issues and brings innovations to human rights and justice that are remarkable.
