We have an urgent request for our members to submit comments in support of phasing out subminimum wages for people with disabilities. In December, the US Department of Labor released a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) to phaseout Section 14(c) of the Fair Labor Standards Act.

I’m headed to the @NFB_voice National Convention — working behind the scenes on communications but also connecting directly with thousands of blind people to continue amplifying our stories. #NFB24 💙

A reminder before Pride starts: the A in LGBTQIA+ never stands for ally. 💙

What type of space, experience, or event has felt the most inclusive to you?

So many of us are working on accessibility awareness/education on a daily basis.

To me, editing isn't an act of self-criticism — it's an act of self-awareness. It's not about putting yourself down. It's about getting curious about your choices. Less: This sentence sucks! More: What can I do to make this stronger?

Who are some people with disabilities in STEM that you would recommend for people to follow or explore their work? (thought leaders, activists, advocates)

Put in the work. I don’t know why this idea is getting a bad rep. But a lot of people are becoming anti-work lately and that’s not a good thing. Great things take work. Great relationships Great businesses Great friendships Great health Great art It all takes work.

A journalist’s job is NOT to read every single pitch that they receive. That would be impossible. A journalist’s job is to report the news that’s important to their audience. Spend your time finding the right journalists, not mass-blasting pitches.

Recently had this discussion with a solicitor about PDF document accessibility. If it has to be PDF, minimum OCR, with header tagging done correctly, and searchable. Image descriptions would be a bonus. Word files work well but I’m not sure why PDF seems to be the standard.

@NFB_voice 1. Start your PDF with a well structured word document. 2. Don't use image only PDF documents. 3. Make sure the PDF is searchable and selectable. 4. Tag the PDF file.

@NFB_voice Accessible PDFs start with correctly designed source files. Use heading styles and avoid manual trickery, and your docs will be 60% there. Add image descriptions, and you are 80% there. #NoSignificantBarriers #a11y

Program & event flyers, pricing plans, reports. So many inaccessible PDFs. Marketing & Comms folks: - know your target audience has disabled people - anywhere an image is, alt text goes behind it - clear text clutter - explore the accessibility tools - get feedback & improve
