Celebrating Global Accessibility Awareness Day

Marked the third Thursday of each May, Global Accessibility Awareness Day is
a time to promote accessibility through public outreach. The National
Federation of the Blind advocates for accessibility, collaborates with
organizations and entities to prioritize it, and provides accessible
opportunities for all blind people to live the lives they want. 

Join the celebration today and every day as we build an accessible America. 

Advocacy

Websites are required by law to be accessible. Without implementing
regulations, most businesses and retailers have little understanding of what
accessible means. The National Federation of the Blind supports the Websites
and Software Applications Accessibility Act
