Today, we mourn the passing of The Mother of Disability Rights, Judy Heumann. To say she left this world a better place is an understatement—Judy Heumann is the one who blazed the trail for disability rights. (1/?) #RestInPower #JudyHeumann #DisabilityRights #DisabilityAdvocate
a navy and teal gradient background with white text has a black and white picture of Judy Heumann taking up the majority of the right half; she is an older woman in a power wheelchair smiling with her mouth wide. To the left is white text “Judy Heumann 12/18/47-3/4/23 Rest in Power.” A white Diversability symbol sits in the upper right corner.

DID YOU KNOW? 50 years ago, Gallaudet University held the second demonstration of closed captioning! Turning on captions is an easy way to make your videos more accessible! GIF of French Sign Language reads: Sorry, I don't understand you. Where are the interpreter and subtitles?

This is Part 2 of my challenge with accessibility while traveling Deaf on @Delta (and many other airlines) where captioning is limited or non-existent. We need to change the #ACAA in line with the #ADA @NAD1880

Too often, disability is thought of like a light bulb: on or off. A person either has a disability or does not. In reality, most disabilities fall somewhere along a spectrum, and viewing them through a binary lens can have profound consequences. ow.ly/t3Bk50HRWWC

Disabilities are not binary. Why do we treat them that way? | AAMC

On October 1 a bill was introduced in the United States Congress to amend the ADA to limit web and mobile accessibility lawsuits. Here's my post about why this bill is a threat to #accessibility and the civil rights of disabled people: lflegal.com/2020/10/ada-back… #a11y

In 2021 The Proposed Online Accessibility Act in US Congress is [STILL] Bad for Digital Inclusion

[APRIL 3, 2021 UPDATE] On February 12, 2021, the (so-called) Online Accessibility Act was re-introduced in the United States Congress. This proposed piece of legislation is identical to the bill...

A new bill in Congress designed to chip away at the ADA is misleadingly named the Online Accessibility Act. The #ADA already covers websites & apps. The proposed bill benefits companies trying to avoid #accessibility work. #StopTheOnlineAccessibilityAct

We’re calling on the Government to make clear #FaceMasks widely available & offer guidance on how to communicate with #deaf people during #coronavirus Otherwise, deaf people could face months of misery as they struggle to understand what’s said to them. bit.ly/2ThhgDi

1/ If you have to intubate a patient & can't reach family for them to speak one more time-- please offer the option to record a video message for their loved ones Sounds simple--it may be the most important thing we do. If you have to add this to a checklist to remember, add it
