Happy Monday, everyone. The last two posts – especially the last post – gained a lot more attention than I expected. If the last two posts meant something to you or touched you somewhere deep in your equity-loving, justice-movement building heart? Consider supporting Equal Access Public Media. Volunteer. Maybe you’ve got years of experience in the U.S. nonprofit and/or disability world and now you’re retired but playing golf or bingo sounds droll. Wouldn’t you rather volunteer on our board or one of our committees? Maybe you need volunteer hours for another reason and you’ve got a skill you think we could use as we are building right now. Reach out. Donate. Can you spare $5 a month? Or maybe your foundation has been looking for the next amazing project to support. EAPM is it. Or maybe you’ve been thinking of forming an endowment. Hi. We’d love that. Yes. We’re the new kids on the media block, but we intend to change everything. The publications we’ll put out? They’ll not just be the curb cuts of news. We’re going to be the raised cross walks of news with the tactile transitions and the talking cross walk signs that show and say a count. (Yes, that’s a belabored metaphor, but wheh. I get excited.) So if you liked or shared or were really moved by my post on diversity in the newsroom or saying the word disability, I’m asking you to show up for me with EAPM. Thanks. #Disability #Equity #DEIA #DisabilityJustice #Accessibility #NonprofitNews #AccessibleNews #EAPM
