Grassroots accessibility work begins with people who experience barriers, understand their communities, and know what needs to change.
ACT—the Accessibility Coalition for Transformation—is an informal collaboration network connecting people, knowledge, and opportunities that can strengthen grassroots accessibility work. We do not direct participants or speak for their organizations.
We help people:
- Share useful information and resources
- Connect people with relevant experience and expertise
- Support collaboration and practical accessibility action
What you’ll find here
Opportunities
Discover accessibility initiatives taking shape in our community and ways to contribute your experience, expertise, connections, or support.

Public meetings, educational events, advocacy opportunities, and other ways to learn, participate, or be heard.
Connection & Community

Access advances through connection
One person may understand a barrier through lived experience. Another may know the applicable accessibility standard. Someone else may understand the public process, have experience organizing a community response, or know who needs to hear about it. ACT connects people whose knowledge and experience can strengthen one another’s work.
