Join ACM's HotTopics webinar on #WebAccessibility, Wed Mar 1 at 5pm ET. A panel of legal and technical experts will discuss crafting new DOJ standards and rules for accessible websites to conform with #ADA. Audience participation is encouraged! @USTPC tinyurl.com/2hgsvxnf
ACM's US Technology Policy Committee (USTPC) will host a HotTopics webinar session, "With Liberty and Web Accessibility for All: Getting the DOJ’s Upcoming Rulemaking Right" on Wednesday, March 1, at 5 pm EST. Join a panel of ACM experts as they discuss what the new rules should look like, whether they can they be crafted to well serve both user and business interests, what assistive technologies must they enable, if the new rules fully meet the needs of the one in four Americans affected by some form of disability, and how accessible websites should be designed to conform with the Americans with Disabilities Act.

So thrilled that the DC Circuit held Section 508 provides a private right of action, allowing Mr. Orozco to proceed with his case challenging the FBI's failure to use accessible software. You can read the opinion here: publicjustice.net/wp-content… @Public_Justice @TRELegal

.@Public_Justice was at the DC Circuit today with cocounsel for argument in Orozco v Garland, our case about the availability of a private right of action under Section 508 of the Rehab Act. @kgilbride was fantastic as always!

Victory in Orozco v. Garland! Opinion from DC Circuit Court: The plain text of Section 794d extends a private right of action to all persons with disabilities who file administrative complaints requesting accessible technology and who seek only injunctive and declaratory relief.

Disability rights are civil rights. The Americans with Disabilities Act was passed on this day in 1990 yet there is still work to be done. Share your thoughts on how we continue to advocate in this thread. #ADA32

Thanks @Jennison for the work to improve #a11y on open source libraries. Open SSF is doing similar work on security. Accessibility should be the same. #NFB22

Share your experiences with inaccessible #COVID19 tests in this thread. @POTUS, we eagerly await next steps from the administration.

Providing at-home #COVID19 tests without ensuring their accessibility is a missed opportunity to innovate. We stand ready to work with @POTUS, @DrWoodcockFDA and test manufacturers to make these critical tests accessible for all.

For disabled people, getting vaccinated is harder. The ADA has been on the books for over 30 years. While it certainly has opened doors for many, the fight for equality doesn’t end simply because legislation exists. The fight for enforcement rages on. thehill.com/policy/healthcar…
