How to Make Your Social Justice Events Accessible to the Disability Community: A Checklist
Real inclusive organizing should include incorporating disability into values or action statements, having disabled people on the organizing committee or board, making accessibility a priority from day one, and listening to feedback from disabled people. Here’s a starter checklist for accessibility, from your website to the day of the event. Make your website accessible: e.g., use high contrast and consider using a tool to allow users to switch from dark-on-light to light-on-dark. Create an access plan: e.g., vet your facilities. Make your event policies disability-friendly: e.g., include disabled people in your leadership, organization, scheduled speakers and panelists, imagery, and documentation.
