๐พ Allyship in Action ๐พ
True allyship means listeningโnot 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.

๐บ๐ Accessible Technology = Equal Access ๐๐ฑ
PCB is advocating for the Communications, Video, and Technology Accessibility Act (CVTA) to ensure modern techโstreaming, video conferencing, and digital platformsโremains accessible.
โ Better video access
โ Accessible interfaces
โ Inclusive communication tools
๐ฌ Because access to technology means access to opportunity.
๐ป๐ Accessibility Online = Opportunity ๐๐ป
PCB is advocating for the Websites and Software Applications Accessibility Act to ensure websites and apps are accessible for people who are blind, have low vision, or are DeafBlind.
โ Clear standards
โ Better guidance
โ Equal digital access
๐ฌ Because accessibility online means independence and opportunity in everyday life.
๐บ๐ธ๐ Advocacy That Impacts Everyday Life ๐๐บ๐ธ
PCB continues advocating in DC and across Pennsylvania for policies that support independence and access.
One key priority is the Medical Device Nonvisual Accessibility Actโensuring devices like glucose monitors and blood pressure readers are usable for people who are blind, have low vision, or are DeafBlind.
๐ฌ Because accessibility in healthcare isnโt optionalโitโs essential.
