Read this, from our friends at EAPM.
This is a big one.

Today's piece in the EAPM Style and Accessibility Guide magazine, The Word, is by @sandyernestallen.bsky.social on a worrisome media trend he's seeing — and it all starts with a dose of hate.

hey, if you care about accessibility in journalism, our friends at EAPM could use some support!

Do you know why we're still all in on DEI at EAPM? Because you can't have accessibility without diversity, equity, and inclusion.

There. We said it.

In last month's EAPM newsletter, we cited the CEP data showing DEIA and social-justice aligned nonprofits, like EAPM, struggling for funding. Today, we're reposting our friends at @assignedmedia.org showing the political assault. This is why we need your support.

NEW: An unprecedented assault on American nonprofits is underway, and it all started when the Trump admin convened a slate of anti-trans activists for a workshop on gender-affirming care.

Journal of Psychsomatic Research has recently published a first-person narrative of "cure" from the Lightning Process as if it were bonafide scientific "research" that somehow proved that the LP was effective.

EAPM is a nonprofit out to make journalism more accessible. Apparently it's "progressive" to be into things like accessibility for and inclusion of disabled people. Who knew?

(We closed down our twitter account a few months ago. No big deal because we never found our place there anyway.)
If you are a progressive org that gets the hell OFF of twitter, please let me know and I promote the hell out of you HERE.
Elon claims that Grok became MechaHitler because it drew too heavily from X.

Very cool that every Congressional Democrat and progressive organization is still on the neo-Nazi website!

In a time when the government tries to penalize diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA) with an Executive Order, EAPM isn't backing down. After all, we put the A right in our name.

Fun fact: @assignedmedia.org and @equalaccesspublicmedia.org are both fiscally sponsored by the same great organization, Alternative newsweekly foundation. It makes Assigned and EAPM family.

We've always operated on a shoestring, though, and the shoestring can't quite stretch far enough to cover my return and keep all these great people contributing the way they have been.

That's why I'm pushing to add an additional $1000/month to keep us where we need to be. I hope you'll join us.

So when I wrote this, I added a place for other journalists to "co-sign" this "Declaration of an independent Press." And what's really cool to me is already two other journalists have signed.

Look. The fact is that EAPM has the personnel and the know-how and the determination to make a world class news website where accessibility and disability rights are the guiding light.

And the fact is that many of the people reading these words would like such a website to exist.

In case anyone is curious, SCOTUS already looked at Free Appropriate Public Ed — not once — but at twice to affirm and define it. BOE v. Rowley and then Endrew F. v. Douglas County School District. (Yes, it's in the EAPM Style and Accessibility Guide.)

eapmstyleguide.org/endrew-f-v-d...
Special education isn't a "nice thing to have." It isn't "charity" or doing something to make us feel better. It is a right. The right to a Free Appropriate Public Education is codified in the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, signed by a Republican president.
U.S. Department of Education fired nearly everyone in the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services in a wave of new layoffs that began Friday, according to the union representing the agency's employees. www.usatoday.com/story/news/e...

We built a Style and Accessibility Guide — and made it accessible and free for journalists and others to use.

Because a free, accessible press is the basis of a strong democracy.

I'm told by some posts that it's Amazon Prime Days.

Some things to consider:

• Instead of lining the pockets of Bezos n Co., see if you can buy directly from some of those businesses who sell on Amazon.
• Support nonprofits instead instead. Shameless plug:
