""If your activism isn't accessible and inclusive, who is it even for?"

Person facing away from the viewer but looking over their shoulder. They are wearing a dress with combat boots. They have a leg prosthetic and a service dog is sitting next to them looking up at them. The back of the dress says, "If your activism isn't accessible and inclusive, who is it even for?"

"TIPS for more accessible organizing:

1. If in-person event, communicate accessibility & public transit options.

2. When organizing online events or trainings, include options for closed captioning. It is also helpful to record sessions.

3. Avoid jargon & acronyms."

I'd add this for in-person meetings: Require masks, and think about how to improve air flow/air quality, to keep risks of COVID infection as low as possible.

@ahimsa_pdx yeah i saw this charity near me where they said they advocate for disabled people. but all the text on the page was actually images with no alt text, so like which disabled people do they care about and how good is their advocacy if their site is that bad?
