Access Ready Strategic Partners with Organizations for Key Policy Advocacy on Aging and Disability Issues
In a significant move towards greater advocacy for aging and disability rights, Access Ready Strategic has joined forces with over 1,100 organizations to address pressing policy changes at federal and state levels. This partnership aims to ensure that the voices of affected communities are heard and that their needs are met in an increasingly digital world.
The reliance on information and communications technology (ICT) in today's society has become paramount for all sectors, including business, government, and non-profits. For individuals with disabilities, having accessible ICT is crucial. It is not merely a matter of convenience; it is integral to fostering independence, economic self-sufficiency, and active participation in civic life.
As technology advances, it is critical that accessibility is woven into the very fabric of ICT policy, ensuring that it meets the needs of all users, including those with disabilities. Access Ready Strategic's advocacy for digital inclusion underlines this importance, championing initiatives that enhance the usability of technology for everyone.
The landscape of federal and state policies is evolving rapidly, prompting a response from various advocacy groups. These changes, which impact funding, accessibility standards, and civil rights, require immediate attention and action from the organizations representing the affected communities. Access Ready's engagement in this issue is a reflection of its commitment to promoting civil rights and equality, particularly for those whose voices might otherwise remain unheard.
The organization's leadership, represented by its Chair and CEO, Douglas George Towne, emphasizes the necessity of standing together with other advocates across the disability rights spectrum. By uniting efforts, these groups aim to influence policy discussions and bring about meaningful reforms that positively impact the lives of individuals with disabilities.
The recent collaboration, including participation in a Senate Aging and Disability letter, showcases a concerted effort to advocate for crucial issues like Medicaid reforms and protective measures within the FY25 Reconciliation Bill. These initiatives not only reflect a grassroots movement but also highlight the importance of collective advocacy in driving policy change at the national level.
Access Ready Strategic encourages stakeholders from all sectors to acknowledge the critical nature of accessible ICT and its role in empowering people with disabilities. Their continued commitment to support policies that foster accessibility is an essential step forward in ensuring that all communities can thrive in a digitally-driven world.
