To kick of the Summer of Accessibility 2015, the Portland Accessibility and User Experience Meetup and Code for Portland are co-hosting a meetup. We will bring together civic hackers, accessibility experts, and creative problem solvers to discuss how we as a community can improve accessibility in Portland.
