Cripchick writes ‘As an event planner and a member of communities that are often excluded, I have learned a lot about what people need to participate and wanted to share (and learn) with you. This is a page on all the things people forget about accessibility [basic things to make it easy for people to be a part of something].’
A really useful link for anyone or organisors who plans events, workshops, rallies, etc.
