<h1><span style="font-family: calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 24pt; color:black;">Learn to Advocate for Accessibility </span></h1>
<p><span style="font-family: calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; color:black;">Tuesday, June 24, 2:00 \u2013 3:30 p.m. Eastern via Zoom </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; color:black;">Finding accessibility issues in the technical products you use can be a frustrating experience. Such issues can make completing tasks more difficult and limit certain features of the product. Fortunately, companies often respond best when you, the user, reach out to report the problems you\u2019re having with a product. You also don\u2019t need technical knowledge to provide actionable reports to developers. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; color:black;">Join the National Federation of the Blind Center of Excellence in Nonvisual Accessibility on Tuesday, June 24, 2025, from 2:00 \u2013 3:30 p.m. to learn how to advocate for accessibility improvements. We will cover:</span></p>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; color:black;">What information you need to create a report and how to gather it</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; color:black;">How to contact the right department or person at a company</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; color:black;">How to compile a detailed issue report</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; color:black;">What you can try when a company doesn\u2019t respond</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; color:black;">Our inaccessibility tracker form, where you can share your experiences.</span></li>
</ul>
