Global Accessibility Awareness Day:

This year, pledge to improve your site's accessibility.

Through their efforts, more people are aware of the importance of digital accessibility than ever before, but the vast majority of sites and software products are still lagging behind the needs of the One Billion people worldwide who have a disability.
