Watched a great talk today about web/technology accessibility, and the speaker pointed out that yes, accessibility is important for people with permanent disabilities, and we should definitely care about that. But also accessibility helps EVERYBODY, because everybody will, at some point in their lives, find themselves in situations that accessible technology can help with. Here are permanent, temporary, and situational disabilities that accessible technology can help with:
Remember that whether something is disabling or not depends on the situation, the environment, the technology, etc. We’re ALL disabled at some point. It is important to support permanently disabled people, but it is also important to remember that accessibility helps us all!
MADE | NOUS celebrates the works of Canadian creators in film, television, video games, and digital entertainment, both in Canada and around the world. Their SEEK MORE campaign inspires Canadians to seek content and creators from more diverse backgrounds, cultures, and communities.
WHAT WE DID:
On November 4, 2021, MADE | NOUS took over the Tumblr dash to drive awareness of their integration with Canada’s Drag Race and the importance and celebration of Canadian LGBTQIA+ creators in film, TV, video games, and digital entertainment. MADE presented the runway of the Nov 4. episode which will see the Queens take the main stage as their favorite Canadian diva.
On June 27, 2021, Made Nous used their Tumblr dash takeover to run a campaign to shed light on the diverse talent in Canada in hopes that the audience watches the recommended movies/tv/games and seek more diverse perspectives in media.
On December 1st, we announced our in-kind ad donation program, LOUDR. With the launch of this program, Tumblr will be donating 10% of our top ad inventory units to advocacy organizations. LOUDR is an alliance dedicated to amplifying marginalized voices. The program will be primarily dedicated to supporting BIPOC-led and -focused organizations. We will also leverage this program to support Tumblr’s long-standing social justice priorities of racial justice, mental health, and equity.
How did the name “LOUDR” come about?
The focus of this program is AMPLIFICATION — to amplify is to “make louder,” or in this case, LOUDR.
Who is eligible?
Organizations that:
serve/support BIPOC communities
are BIPOC led
align with Tumblr’s focus areas of racial injustice, mental health or LGBTQIA+ equity and causes.
