2020 Candidates – No Accessible Websites!

2020, 2020 candidates

Not one 2020 candidate has a website that is accessible to the blind

From Vox.com, June 26, 2019 by s. e. smith

2020 candidates and disability

“On Tuesday, a day before the first Democratic debates, every presidential candidate (including the Republican one) was called out by the Miami Lighthouse for the Blind and Visually Impaired for having an inaccessible campaign site”.

The 2020 elections are a year and a half away.  Clearly, it is not too early to make sure the candidates are focusing on disability issues!  This article also talks about which candidates have at least mentioned disability issues.

If you have a favorite candidate, reach out to them, and let them know that the disability vote counts!  And disability issues matter.
