🇲🇽 Happy Cinco de Mayo from the Pennsylvania Council of the Blind!

Today we celebrate culture, history, community, and connection.

As communities gather for festivals, meals, music, and events, accessibility matters. Inclusive planning helps people who are blind or have low vision fully take part in the celebration.

Culture and community should be open to everyone.

✨🌌 May the 4th be with you!

Today, the Pennsylvania Council of the Blind celebrates Star Wars Day & the power of accessible storytelling.

From audio description & screen readers to accessible books & shared conversations, access helps everyone enjoy the adventure.

Every galaxy should be open to everyone.

May the Force of accessibility, advocacy & community be with you!

PCB is happy to see the National Constitution Center expanding tactile offerings for blind & low vision visitors.

However, the current schedule is limited.

PCB encourages the Center to build on this progress.

We would welcome the chance to help think through what broader access could look like.

This is a good start. Let’s keep moving forward.

Accessibility is a right, not a luxury.

🐾🦮 Happy International Guide Dog Day

Guide dog partnerships are built on trust, teamwork, independence & safe travel. These highly trained dogs help many people who are blind or have low vision navigate the world.

PCB reminds everyone to respect working guide dog teams. Do not pet, feed or distract a guide dog while they are working.

Digital accessibility is a right, not a luxury.

Websites, apps, online forms, PDFs, & government services must be usable with assistive tech & accessible design.

The ADA has always required equal access to public services!

Accessibility is not extra. It is not optional. It is not something to add later!

Digital accessibility is a right, not a luxury!
