WEBCAST OCT 14 – A11yNYC – BillionStrong: A Global Identity and Empowerment Nonprofit
On Tuesday October 7 2021 at 2pm EDT (18:00 UTC) the Accessibility NYC Meetup (A11yNYC) hosts an online meetup ‘Billion Strong: A Global Identity and Empowerment Nonprofit‘. According to the W.H.O. there are 1.3B people with disabilities in the world. Many multinational corporations at the CEO level are partaking in initiatives such as The Valuable 500 that focus on disability inclusion and accessibility. However, it is up to the community of persons with disabilities to self-organize to drive those and other empowerment efforts. Debra Ruh will talk about a new global non-profit ‘Billion Strong‘ that aims to collectivise that effort.
The meetup will be webcast live via a partnership with the Internet Society Accessibility SIG.
