Today we join people around the world in recognizing Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD), a day dedicated to opening eyes, minds, and conversations about access and inclusion for people of all abilities.
Accessibility is more than a checklist. It is a commitment to ensuring that everyone can participate fully in life without barriers. From the way we design buildings to the way we share information online, accessibility benefits us all.
At Sunrise Community we believe that accessibility is at the heart of community inclusion. We strive to make our programs and spaces welcoming for everyone, communicate in ways that are clear, inclusive, and accessible, and raise awareness about how access impacts independence and opportunity.
You can get involved today by sharing the message and letting your friends, family, and networks know why accessibility matters. Take a look around you and identify ways to make your physical or digital spaces more inclusive. Commit to one change that can remove a barrier for someone else.
Today and every day let us remember that accessibility opens doors both literally and figuratively. When we create a world where everyone has equal access, we all move forward together.
