The Future is Accessible

Fostering an inclusive environment, culture, and community that welcomes everyone.
In the everyday dominant culture, which centers colonial, cis-heteronormative, white, upper class, neuro-typical, thin, able-bodied individuals over historically disenfranchised people from the Global North, we’re intentionally and unintentionally leaving people behind. 

We get stuck in performative social justice actions instead of digging into the root causes and the frameworks of change needed to embody inclusivity. 
  • For example, is your work environment welcoming for those who are fat? 
  • Are your seats and toilet stalls accessible for fat people to use comfortably? 
  • Are you uncomfortable using pronouns, and do you insist on only using legal names? 
  • Do you allow a culture where people can casually comment on homosexuality, people’s bodies, mental health, people’s income, or other dehumanizing comments without considering the impact on others? 
The problem is you don’t know that you are a part of the problem.
Your ignorance isn’t bliss.
Instead, it’s causing harm.
And you have no idea what to do about it or where to begin to create more accessible environments. 
So instead of researching, you mimic the performative actions you see around you. Or you ask for a checklist of things to do that may not serve the people in your room? 
But, the more challenging work is knowing who you are as an organization;

Recognizing who is already in the room, and creating an environment that makes them feel safe, valued, heard, and centered. 

I get it. It’s overwhelming, but the important thing is you care, and you’re ready to do something about it!
Introducing

The Future is Accessible

Perfect For: Business owners, community organizers, and non-profit founders—anyone who works with teams, clients, communities with individuals that have access needs. 

A place to learn without judgment, ask tough questions and host nuanced conversations around accessibility from a few essential perspectives that impact us as business owners, community organizers, and non-profit founders. 
Because in this day and age, accessibility is no longer a nice-to-have.
The pandemic has highlighted to many business owners and non-profits founders how inaccessible their day-to-day operations are for themselves, their teams (whether employees or freelancers), and their customers and communities.  And how the inequities in the workplace impact the rest of our lives, relationships, and communities. 

During this on-demand conference, we discovered there are many ways to solve this problem. 
But, the bigger solution is that you have to be willing to make the mistakes, dig into the conversations, and do the work to rethink accessibility.

We don’t get to bypass the hard work and challenging conversations. Instead, we must understand this process requires growing pains and confronting our own biases and fears. 
Inside The Future Is Accessible On-Demand Conference, we have an incredible line-up of speakers who shared everything from accessibility for caregivers and parents, to neurodivergence, to gender and sexuality.

We center the voices of people marginalized by global systems of supremacy: Black, Indigenous, and people of color, queer, trans, impoverished, undocumented, disabled, neurodivergent, and fat who are fighting for the rights of all.

You’ll walk away with: a better understanding of the landscape of accessibility, your company’s bespoke strategy for implementation, how to put your strategy into action this quarter and going forward.

Three reasons why you should think about accessibility:

  1. It’s the right thing to do. Quite frankly, if the pandemic taught us anything, it is how necessary accommodations were to support ourselves, our teams, our clients, and our communities. 
  2. Legally, we are accountable and responsible for putting in provisions under the Equalities Act (UK) and Americans with Disabilities Act (US) and beyond. Our goal needs to be disability justice and building inclusive spaces, not just ticking the legal boxes.
  3. It makes it easier for people to work with us when we make accommodations and get into conversations about access needs.
There is never going to be the perfect time to start this process. It is going to be messy, uncomfortable, and maybe even overwhelming. But, starting now is better than doing nothing at all.
