[NFB-Krafters-Korner] help?

Renae, I think that would be a good idea. Letters would be fine, but the Division could also pass a resolution. Someone who knows about the website needs to write it. And we need to tell them how to make it accessible—who to consult with at least. Probably it would be helpful to them if we tell them what is not accessible or what we are unable to do. Clearly, someone like me who cannot do anything, is not the one to figvre this out.

There are resolutions every year for the NFB about making things accessible, but a division that uses particular sites might be effective if it took a stand and named someone to work with them.

If we can write up and complain, it’s not going to go over so well. If we suggest and state how we love the organization, but having it works that support would be better. It’s part of the ADA. Reasonable accommodations at all. We need it to be as accessible as possible. This is why I think we should have a resolution for Pinterest, as it is not accessible and this is something that we as a division Should take on. JMO

But the written out patterns are not too bad. I would suggest we table this for a while. I and a couple of people I know will do some research and come up with issues, and perhaps we can strategize about how to work with them as a group to fix major issues.
