An important reminder - avoid using emoji as bullet points! #a11y

Accessibility Awareness@a11yawareness.bsky.social · last wk.

Avoid using emoji as bullet points in social media posts. An emoji has a coded description that gets read by screen readers, and thus could confuse users who think that's part of the content. If you can't use standard lists, use dashes for bullet points or add line breaks.

Today is 36 years since the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) became law. We celebrate the progress made and honor those who made it possible. #ADA36 #ThanksToTheADA

"The ADA is the living testament to our Nation's commitment that we will always stand up for our neighbor's right to live fulfilling lives." -Tammy Duckworth, U.S. Senator #ADA36 #ADAAnniversary #ADA

Tomorrow, we celebrate the signing of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The ADA protects people living with disabilities from discrimination in day-to-day life, whether at work, a doctor’s office, or a restaurant. ⬇️

Know Your Rights Under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)

The ADA is a resource for people wrongly excluded from everyday life activities because of their disability. Learn how to advocate for your rights under the law.

Today marks 36 years since the ADA was signed into law. We remain as committed as ever to building upon the progress that came from its passage and ensuring that disabled people can fully participate in all aspects of society.

Disability Rights Education & Defense Fund@dredf.bsky.social · last wk.

It's the 36th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act. The ADA was won through decades of organizing by disabled people, parents, advocates, attorneys + allies. We're proud to have been part of that history + continue to defend the rights the ADA secured. dredf.org/the-making-o...

36 years ago today, the ADA was signed into law by President George H.W. Bush (with AAPD co-founder Justin Dart by his side!). The ADA transformed this country and access to public life for disabled people. Today, we are still fighting to protect the ADA and other hard-fought disability rights.

Celebrating 36 years of the Americans with Disabilities Act. We remain committed to building awareness, understanding, and implementation of the ADA! #ADA36

Important reminder from @who.int about youth mental health #MentalHealthMatters

WHO@who.int · 2w ago

It takes a community to support a young person's #MentalHealth. Parents, caregivers, teachers and health workers all have a role to play. But they must be supported in their roles by effective and accessible mental health services for children and young people.

So grateful for an encouraging opening keynote from @andydrc.bsky.social with @disabilityrightsca.bsky.social ! His thoughts offer us direction to help continue to work for disability rights and justice work! #ADASymposium2026
