Help Audit Non Profit Websites for Accessibility

Hello, Accessibility Atlanta Team. We have another great opportunity to provide accessibility auditing and coaching at the 48in48 Social Justice Event. Join hundreds of developers, designers, and digital content specialists who will come together and spend 48 hours building 48 websites for 48 deserving nonprofits. (That's an impressive goal – and we need you to help make it a reality.)

This is a virtual event, so you can sign up on the 48in48 website and join us from the comfort of your home or favorite coffee shop.

Here's the role we'll play: During the hours of 12:00 PM and 8:00 PM on Saturday, and again from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM on Sunday, we'll provide accessibility reviews and remediation recommendations to the project/design teams as they complete their website builds. A special Slack channel will be set up for us through which we'll schedule review sessions and host office hours to provide accessibility coaching.

To keep things simple, we will focus our reviews on a minimal number of Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.x items. This will keep things understandable and actionable for project teams that may have limited (or zero) exposure to accessibility compliance before the event. It's a fantastic way to introduce people to the topic and to positively affect websites designed to support communities in need.
Please join us for this fun and impactful weekend. We need at least 20 volunteers to pull this off.

NOTE: Please sign up on the 48in48 website in addition to RSVPing here on Meetup.
