📺 {WATCH} "Every Body Belongs Outdoors" was created by Amy Denton-Luke, founder of Disabled in the Wild, for Explore Austin in honor of Great Outdoors Month. This 7-minute video explores the pervading narrative that only certain types of bodies can be classified as “outdoorsy" -- a stereotype often excludes individuals with chronic illness, disabilities, neurodivergence and folks of size -- and the need for advocating for accessibility in the outdoors for all. 👀 Take a watch >> https://ow.ly/CbfW50Slah2 #exploreaustin #outdoorsforall #disabledinthewild #accessibilityintheoutdoors #disabledintheoutdoors #outdoorsforall #getoutside #outdooradventure #neurodivergence #disability #chronicillness

White Cane Safety Day is an annual observance that raises awareness of the white cane as a symbol of independence for people who are blind or visually impaired. It emphasizes pedestrian safety and the rights of people with visual disabilities while promoting inclusion and accessibility. The white cane serves as a vital mobility aid, helping users navigate their surroundings and signaling their needs to others. To make the society more inclusive for people with visual impairment, educate yourself and others about the significance of the white cane, practice safe habits by being mindful of people using white canes, and advocate for improvements in public spaces to enhance accessibility. Photo Description: The poster highlights a post for White Cane Safety Day. By the left part of the poster, there's a man sitting on a couch; he is visually impaired and holding a white cane. The white cane is a tool for independence. #JONAPWD #WhiteCaneSafetyDay #VisuallyImpaired #PedestrianSafety #AccessibilityMatters #InclusionForAll #BlindAwareness #MobilityRights #Nigeria #CRPD

Nothing about us, Without us – Get GAAD! Did you know that over one billion people identify with having a disability? It’s time to prepare for GAAD next year in May! Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD) aims to get everyone talking, thinking, and learning about digital access and inclusion. Where Is Your Company Going To Go? My contributions have been largely unseen for over ten years, and my potential is untapped. Accessibility shouldn't be a PR move. It should be ingrained in the company culture from the ground up. Let's be honest: true accessibility is about more than ramps and accessible bathrooms (though those are important, too). It's about fostering an environment where everyone feels valued and supported in contributing their unique talents. We, the disabled community, have a lot to offer. It's time to open the door and listen. Image Description - Tom at the top of the stairs, in front of the Canary Wharf, One Canada Square set of offices.

On March 13, 1990, 60 demonstrators left their wheelchairs and crawled up the steps of the US Capitol, demanding the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The ADA was passed 4 months later on July 26, 1990, prohibiting discrimination against individuals with disabilities in public life, including bus stops. From January to March 2023, bus ridership increased by 21% compared to the same period in 2022. APTA reported that overall ridership reached over 70% of pre-pandemic levels by September 2022. With a more diverse population using public transportation, it's essential to ensure quality and accessibility for all. The ADA protects riders with disabilities, ensuring equal access starting at ADA-compliant bus stops. Local governments must remove physical barriers and update policies to meet these standards. Universal best practices can help cities and transit agencies exceed these requirements for better accessibility.
