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!

⚖️ PCB Statement on ADA Title II Interim Final Rule
PCB joins the American Council of the Blind in opposing the delay of website accessibility regulations under ADA Title II.
After 14 years of advocacy, we believed accessible websites were finally within reach. This delay prolongs barriers for people who are blind or have low vision.

🐾 Allyship in Action 🐾
True allyship means listening—not assuming.
As Ed Summers shared:
Being asked what works gave him agency, instead of others deciding for him.
Fake or poorly trained service animals continue to create real barriers for legitimate teams every day.
👏 Thank you to Jen and Ed
