Hello Eric, we are supporting the EU in pushing EU countries to ensure accessible infrastructure - including wheelchair accessible public space. This was a main demand for our campaign on the #AccessibilityAct.

Investing in accessibility is crucial for EU sales post-June 28, 2025. Non-compliance with the European Accessibility Act (EAA) means fines. Tie accessibility to business success. #EUlaw #AccessibilityAct uxdesign.cc/how-to-sell-the-european...

A man in a wheelchair smiling at the camera, in front of two colorful banners for the AccessibleEU event. One banner says “Together, let’s make it accessible!” and the other promotes the European Accessibility Act. The setting appears to be an indoor conference venue.

Currently at the #AccessibleEU event celebrating accessibility achievements, promoting the European #AccessibilityAct, and fostering cooperation among policymakers, businesses, civil society, and experts to inspire further action.

Banner sayinh 'Hi, European Accessibility Act. Let's Rock Accessibility!'

We are at the #AccessibleEU event celebrating the European #AccessibilityAct.

The Act is an important step. But we need more:
- Enforcement of the Act and efforts of businesses are essential to make it a reality.
- EU funding for disability inclusion must be strengthened in the next #EUBudget.

Tomorrow is a huge day for accessibility.

Many provisions of the EU #AccessibilityAct enter into force. This means that many products and services must be accessible.

Now, we need national governments, businesses and private organisations to do their part.

The EU has two important pieces of #accessibility legislation - the #WebDirective and #AccessibilityAct. But they are often not enforced.

During #axecon, we are calling for a European Accessibility Agency in the updated #EUDisabilityRights Strategy!

Then they came for the Deaf YouTube video by Trash Discourse

Credit to the YouTube channel Trash Discourse, I feel they make good points. It never starts with genocide, but instead is a slow drip of injustice and forced silence.
