📺💙 Accessible Technology = Equal Access 💙📱

PCB is advocating for the Communications, Video, and Technology Accessibility Act (CVTA) to ensure modern tech—streaming, video conferencing, and digital platforms—remains accessible.

✔ Better video access
✔ Accessible interfaces
✔ Inclusive communication tools

💬 Because access to technology means access to opportunity.

🇺🇸💙 Advocacy That Impacts Everyday Life 💙🇺🇸

PCB continues advocating in DC and across Pennsylvania for policies that support independence and access.

One key priority is the Medical Device Nonvisual Accessibility Act—ensuring devices like glucose monitors and blood pressure readers are usable for people who are blind, have low vision, or are DeafBlind.

💬 Because accessibility in healthcare isn’t optional—it’s essential.

Advocacy That Makes a Difference

PCB peers joined the ACB Leadership Conference in Washington DC to advocate for people who are blind or have low vision.

The 2026 Legislative Imperatives focus on expanding independence, opportunity & accessibility nationwide.

The work continues at home—PCB is meeting with legislators across PA to ensure our voices are heard.

From Capitol Hill to communities across PA, we’re building a more accessible future.
