[VABS] Fwd: Build an Accessible Future with Us

Sat May 20 21:19:33 UTC 2023

Hello,

Did anyone attend this webinar held on May 18? I thought about it but with other events on zoom for me that day, I did not want to add another one.

If you did, I’d like to hear your thoughts. Was it useful? What was covered? If I can find out where the recording is, I’ll definitely listen to it.

Ashley

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 <https://u32452178.ct.sendgrid.net/ls/click?upn=mTCu8dGvOkl-2BXqaCK8sZ2XZsIV-2FIHwCJ1wu82RzQMT-2BYPFY1W898jzlXsLk2GsfbALqZn-2FBLwWbjvCNLrAx4oTDq-2Fp65x9WOjGbF69UGNOs-3DQJEz_idKE0pR7rCSkKHFzaR54x8GVI0z-2Ft4jeh1W9jWqZPWUJaSylJsnh-2FaVjgMQc1h8S7nc5BSVTfO7qk8bsjaW3oaIhYBQpICOORJDglDNO5Qv10J71GxX3TSTN19iGmXVZrYfD3dJ4DuJTbA3r1rGuCizQf0OGPgz980RWo5Z7Q7mbPFyD7KRxRlIEYOrA4X6btt2kl9sKV05ecQ40UwnrBL8-2F21A9LOTPkcMSM8WM3fA-3D>  that, when signed into law, will end website and mobile application inaccessibility for blind Americans.
