ALT 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.

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

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.
