So thrilled that the DC Circuit held Section 508 provides a private right of action, allowing Mr. Orozco to proceed with his case challenging the FBI's failure to use accessible software. You can read the opinion here: https://t.co/LowXYAD31J @Public_Justice @TRELegal

Read the blog post about the recent hearing for more understanding of Orozco v. Garland. https://t.co/mPFxsVfa1N

[National Federation of the Blind @NFB_voice]

Victory in Orozco v. Garland! Opinion from DC Circuit Court: The plain text of Section 794d extends a private right of action to all persons with disabilities who file administrative complaints requesting accessible technology and who seek only injunctive and declaratory relief.

@Object_InSpace Thanks. Now off to see if there is any way to migrate our account data to Mastodon ...

@Object_InSpace I checked this out with VPN set to multiple jurisdictions and found the same labeled form for a request to the data officer serving via Chrome/JAWS. More details about the problem?

As a blind person, what’s your favorite social media platform and why?

[National Federation of the Blind @NFB_voice]

If you're a blind or low-vision person, like this post so we can be sure to follow you on this platform. Retweet for us to connect with more of #BlindTwitter.

Disability rights are civil rights. The Americans with Disabilities Act was passed on this day in 1990 yet there is still work to be done. Share your thoughts on how we continue to advocate in this thread. #ADA32

[Lainey Feingold @LFLegal]

Here are links to settlement agreement and exhibits from the #k12 digital learning software case - resolving legal claims between #blind student and @BerkeleyUnified w Structured Negotiation- no lawsuit needed https://t.co/VqJUehy12M #EdTech #a11y Great work @TRELegal @NFB_voice

[TRE Legal Practice @TRELegal]

Privileged to work with this family and @NFB_voice . She fought on behalf of her blind son. Now BUSD will make online learning tools more accessible https://t.co/MhWNdEVe3x

@Jennison Great to see you here. Let's connect soon back in the Bay Area.

[TRE Legal Practice @TRELegal]

Thanks @Jennison for the work to improve #a11y on open source libraries. Open SSF is doing similar work on security. Accessibility should be the same. #NFB22

[National Federation of the Blind @NFB_voice]

Share your experiences with inaccessible #COVID19 tests in this thread. @POTUS, we eagerly await next steps from the administration.

[National Federation of the Blind @NFB_voice]

It is respectable to be blind.

[National Federation of the Blind @NFB_voice]

Providing at-home #COVID19 tests without ensuring their accessibility is a missed opportunity to innovate. We stand ready to work with @POTUS, @DrWoodcockFDA and test manufacturers to make these critical tests accessible for all.

[National Federation of the Blind @NFB_voice]

Equal access includes news coverage regardless of how horrific. Our hearts are with those impacted by the events of January 6, 2021.
