Speaker Series: Inclusive Practices
When we make positive changes for marginalized groups, we make positive changes for everyone. For example, building curb ramps in sidewalks for those in wheelchairs benefited those who walked with canes or walkers, mothers with strollers and people on bikes. What changes can we make in our public spaces, events and services to be more accessible for those who have higher to reach needs? What can you do individually? When you meet the highest needs of many, you can meet the needs of all, and you never know what anyone else is dealing with.
Let's discuss barriers we may not recognize in our workplaces or facilities and how we can improve everyone's experiences.
