Any DEI effort is incomplete without Accessibility. Equity itself means accessibility for the Disability Community. There is no social justice without Disability Justice.

Disabled people take a huge risk every time we organise against disability cuts. There have been cases of presence at an action being used to cut off eligibility, because the DWP wilfully misrepresents disability. This is why we need the rest of you.

"Using a mobility aid is not “giving up.“
Using a shower bench is not “lazy.”
Using a ramp is not for “disabled people only.”
Normalizing and not shaming people for using accessibility features reduces the stigma surrounding them. "- Misa on Wheels

There is no equity or equality without accessibility

A1.1 No single product can be fully accessible for all of the different disability related needs so #accessibility work needs to be multimodal and multi channel to ensure the widest number of people are included. #AXSChat

Why should people without disabilities care? Because part of the human experience involves living with disabilities, and if you live long enough, you will likely need accessibility. This is about #HumanInclusion #WeAreBillionStrong #WeAREHuman #AI4Good #AI4All #Tech4All #Tech4Good #AIForGood
Disability isn't an exclusive club. It doesn't discriminate based on age, race, or socioeconomic status.
An accident, an illness, or simply the passage of time is enough
So, when we push for accessibility and inclusion, we're not just thinking about ourselves—we're thinking about our future.

Apple shareholders rejected a proposal to end its diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts, with the board advising against it due to business strategy concerns. This decision aligns Apple with Costco in opposing the trend of scaling back diversity programs.
