And no, an overlay won’t save lawyers or their magazines from a lawsuit https://t.co/mdNa2gijMA #lawTech #a11y 4/4

[Lainey Feingold @LFLegal]

And yes - law firm websites need accessibility (essential to inclusion of disabled clients, lawyers, ++) A focus on “ADA compliance” can lead to use of overlays as we see on @BestLawyers. Before the overlay venture-funded onslaught I wrote this: https://t.co/gW4hpRgVEg 3/4

[Lainey Feingold @LFLegal]

Here’s the @BestLawyers article about the importance of law firm web accessibility on a page with an overlay. Care about inclusion? Don’t do this #legaltech #a11y https://t.co/wb8A59Fqlt 2/4

[Lainey Feingold @LFLegal]

Dear @BestLawyers: you write that your new website puts “ADA compliance at the helm of your design.” (Link in thread) but you are using an accessibility overlay- quite the opposite. Please read https://t.co/wiRtw0xvFv and overlay false https://t.co/PalOmwYOIS and reconsider 1/4

We add alt text to images on our social channels because our goal of creating welcoming and accessible spaces doesn't end with our stores. 💚 #AltTextAddsMore

[Haben Girma👩🏿‍🦯 @HabenGirma]

Yes, blind people are on Twitter. But most sighted people don’t add alt text to images, excluding us from conversations. For years I’ve used alt text knowing the sweetness of full inclusion. Now, I'm able to partner w/ @MicrosoftEdge to show #AltTextAddsMore #MicrosoftPartner

“We’ve been told repeatedly that either they’re not doing evacuations at all or that they cannot evacuate people 'with these needs,'” @annalandre says.
