This month we ask the question, “Is your awareness campaign accessible?” We share resources to help you make sure that when you spread the word about your campaign or event, that information is accessible.
Product Highlight
Federal Social Media Accessibility Toolkit Hackpad: Improving the Accessibility of Social Media for Public Service is directed toward government entities, but other organizations will find this toolkit a helpful way to learn about social media accessibility.
