> 
> Every day blind people encounter inaccessible products and services. Whether it is a new website you want to use, an activity in one of your classes, or your new job’s primary tool, finding an inaccessible product can cause you mild inconvenience, or it can cost a job. Fortunately, many companies don’t know about, or haven’t prioritized, accessibility. Reaching out to them with specific issues and information to help them resolve the problem can yield results.
> 
> Join the National Federation of the Blind via Zoom on March 9, 2:00 – 3:30 p.m. EST to learn how to talk to companies about accessibility and work toward getting more products accessible to everyone. Some topics that will be covered are:
> 
> How to report issues to companies in a manner they can use
> How to gather the information that will be most helpful to the company
> Tips for raising issues with the company, including the use of social media
> Tips on working with your school or employer to improve accessibility
> Take advantage of this free opportunity. Register for Advocating for Accessibility today!
> 
> Accessibility boutiques and seminars are workshops presented by our access technology experts that provide introductions to accessibility best practices and the latest trends in access tech.
