Websites are required by law to be accessible, but without implementing regulations most businesses and retailers have little understanding of what accessible means. #NFBinDC #A11yAct

Forgot to add #a11y; @nfb_voice@tpginteractive
Accessibility is in the recipe you follow, it’s the flour mixed with the ingredients, it’s the knead of the dough, it’s the taste of acceptance, it’s the utensils to eat, and the plates in which you share. It isn’t the icing on the cake — it’s the whole experience. 🎂

This clearly demonstrates that the driver was aware of their obligation to carry service dogs, and his willful disregard of said obligation! @nfb_voice

Told a driver that I needed his help with looking for me because I’m a blind person, he asked me if I had a guide dog, I said yes, and then he claimed to not see me. Then waited until he could easily cancel the ride after hanging up on me so that I would get charged. Not OK @lyft

Blind people use audible clues to gain context about what’s going on around us. If/when you see us approaching and you’re making some kind of noise (talking, typing, fiddling with your keys) don’t stop.

Just got denied an @Uber ride because I’m a blind person and the driver apparently “doesn’t have time for that”. Who wants to bet nothing Will actually be done about this? 🤔

BREAKING: Donald Trump melts down after the New York Times correctly states that his power in the GOP is "weakening" and pathetically demands that the paper surrender its "manufactured" Pulitzer Prize. RT IF YOU LOVE TO SEE HIM SQUIRM!

Replying to @karlb21 @EllumeHealth @NFB_voice @matt_hackert
I have completed several of the tests myself nonvisually. When the app prompts to pair the reader, press the button, wait a second, then press and hold for 2 or 3 seconds, and the process should move on. #A11y @nfb_Voice @Matt_Hackert

The @EllumeHealth #Covid19 tests distributed by the government can be completed nonvisually. Even though the app says to look for the light, this is not necessary to test successfully. The app moves to the next step once the reader connects. #A11y @nfb_Voice @Matt_Hackert

Just finished setting up my schedule in the CrowdCompass mobile app. Now, I'll at least know where I'm supposed to be, even if I haven't yet figured out how to get there! #nfb22
