Built for Missed Talent

So many players never get the shot they deserve.
Not because of their talent — but because of geography, access, or luck.

CourtMapping changes that.
We spotlight, scout, and connect — no matter where you are.

WTF do they think is going to happen to #schools?

#Trump admin to announce dismantling of much of #Education Dept
The Education Dept plans to announce Tuesday that it will move multiple parts of the agency to other federal depts, an unprecedented & unilateral effort to dismantle an agency created by #Congress to ensure all Americans have #EqualAccess to educational #opportunity & better coordinate federal programs.

No company should decide who counts as ‘acceptable’ when the law already has. OpenAI’s policy hurts real, lawful people. My petition demands equality for all professionals.

My petition calls out a serious issue: OpenAI is blocking lawful adult workers from AI access while letting every other business use it freely. That’s discrimination. Equality means the same rules for everyone. Sign to help fix this policy.

📢 Problem sa BPI Mobile App – Screen Reader Accessibility for Blind People

Hi guys, I’m Aaron, I'm blind, BPI client and credit card holder. For the past 3 weeks (and counting), totally wala akong access sa BPI Mobile App. Hindi ako makalog in, makacheck ng balance, o makabayad ng credit card bill kasi yung app is completely unreadable sa TalkBack (screen reader application naming mga blind at visually impaired users sa Android).

👉 Ano yung screen reader application?
Para siyang voice na nagbabasa ng laman ng screen para magamit naming mga bulag ang phone o computer – from chat, shopping, entertainment, social media hanggang banking.
Kung hindi accessible yung app sa screen reader, hindi namin siya magagamit. kumbaga sa mga nakakakita, blank screen ang nakikita namin.

Kung sa mga nakakakita ito nangyari at biglang nag-blank screen yung buong app nila, sigurado ako na aayusin agad-agad ng BPI.

❌ Pero sa amin, 3 weeks na, and counting. Totally no access. Hindi “inconvenient” lang — this is zero access.

At hindi naman puwede na sasabihin lang na “magpa-assist ka na lang”. Banking is confidential, at dapat independent kaming makagamit ng sarili naming accounts. Kung sa sighted clients hindi acceptable na may ibang makikialam sa banking transactions nila, dapat ganoon din ang respeto at trato sa aming mga bulag.

This is not just a tech issue — violation ito ng rights ng PWDs. May mga batas na nagsasabing dapat accessible at nondiscriminatory ang services:

RA 7277 (Magna Carta for Persons with Disability)

RA 9442 (penalizing discrimination)

BP 344 (Accessibility Law)

Plus, the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.

👉 Responsibility ng BPI na siguraduhin na inclusive at accessible ang banking services nila. Hindi puwedeng ma-exclude ang PWD clients.

🔴 Kaya I’m calling on BPI:

1. Ayusin agad ang issue at gawing screen reader–friendly ulit ang mobile app.

2. Maglabas ng malinaw na statement at timeline kung kailan maaayos ang problem sa access.

3. and hopefully, mag-commit na lahat ng future updates ay dumadaan sa accessibility testing.

⚖️ At nananawagan din ako sa Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP): bilang regulator ng mga bangko, dapat ninyo itong aksyunan at siguruhin na ang lahat ng financial institutions ay sumusunod sa accessibility at nondiscrimination laws. Hindi puwedeng iwan sa ere ang PWD clients.

💡 Accessibility is not a favor. Karapatan namin ito.

👉 Kung naniniwala ka sa equal rights ng PWDs, specially for blind people, at sigurado akong may kilala kang PWD friend o family member, please gawin mo ito para sa amin—share niyo itong post para makita ng BPI at BSP na dapat na itong aksyunan.

Public libraries are one of America’s greatest inventions.

Free books. Free minds.

And it all started with one bold idea: everyone deserves access to knowledge.

What if campaign airtime was treated like a public service, not a competition for billionaires to buy influence?

I built MakeCampaignsFair.com to push for a publicly funded, ad-free platform that gives every qualified candidate equal access — no tricks, no pay-to-play.

Just policies. Just people.

Let’s level the field.
