The first Patreon-only project I’m launching with your help is a guide for trans activists, community leaders and campaigners to help them centralise accessibility in their work. All too often, trans community spaces, projects, campaigns and resources are inaccessible, making disabled, poor and inexperienced people struggle to access basic support and guidance.

Through incorporating some simple accessibility-first design, it can be simple to make resources and communities more accessible.

This guide will cover:

What is accessibility anyway?

Why access is important in activism & communities

Practical guidance: - Making communities accessible - Making venues accessible - Making resources accessible - Making campaigning accessible - Accessibility on a budget

Making your efforts sustainable

Other resources

Glossary & index

I’ll be posting regular updates as to how it’s going on Patreon, and will release previews and short-form versions to Patrons with access to works-in-progress! The final project will of course be released to the public!
