Easy Wins for Accessibility:
1) Write good HTML
2) Navigate with the keyboard
3) Don't use outline
4) Don't rely on color alone
5) Try a screen reader
6) Use tools, read docs - audit tools, usability testing

Oh @codeforamerica ! U rock my world. These past 3 days was like an all you can eat buffet of best practices in user-centered design. So blessed to finally formally work with @bentut (my favorite designer) as CFA fellows on an exciting project on sustainable mobility.
