Our Goal
We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at Level AA. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible to people with disabilities, including those who use screen readers, keyboard navigation, voice control, or other assistive technologies.
We view accessibility as an ongoing commitment, not a one-time task. As we add new content and features, we work to ensure they meet the same standard.
Accessibility Features and Goals
The site uses headings, page landmarks, image descriptions, responsive layouts, and visible focus styling to support access. The campaign’s goal is to make links, forms, menus, and other controls usable with a keyboard and assistive technology. These features are not a certification that every page or third-party service meets every accessibility requirement.
Known Limitations
We are aware of the following areas where accessibility may be limited and are actively working to improve them:
- Third-party embeds — the linked Donorbox donation service and other external services are provided by third parties. While we have selected providers who take accessibility seriously, we do not have full control over their embed code. We encourage both services to continue improving their accessibility.
- PDF documents — any PDF documents linked from this site may not be fully accessible. If you need an accessible version of any document, please contact us and we will provide an alternative format.
Testing and Feedback
A comprehensive accessibility audit is not documented here. Testing with screen readers, keyboard navigation, and different browsers remains part of the campaign’s accessibility goals. Visitors are encouraged to report barriers so they can be addressed.
Browser and Device Support
This site is designed to work with modern browsers including Safari, Chrome, Firefox, and Edge on both desktop and mobile devices. We support the two most recent major versions of each browser.
Report an Accessibility Issue
We take accessibility feedback seriously. If you encounter a barrier on this site — whether it's a page that doesn't work with your screen reader, a form you can't complete, or anything else — please let us know. We will respond promptly and work to resolve the issue.
When reporting an issue, it helps to include:
- The page or section where you encountered the problem
- A brief description of what happened
- The assistive technology or browser you were using (if applicable)
