About TWB's Collective Access Initiative
TWB's Collective Access is an ever-growing collection of material and informational resources with the goal of building a more equitable community through easy-to-implement accessibility tools.
This initiative, inspired by the leadership of disabled self-advocates, was launched by Together We Bloom centered on three core beliefs:
-
True community is accessible.
-
Accessibility benefits all of us and is the responsibility of all of us.
-
Access MUST be collective.
The name "Collective Access" comes from one of the 10 Principals of Disability Justice established by Sins Invalid.
