Hello everyone! 
We are a new community #DEI initiative for #OpenStreetMap hoping to become a respected group to improve diversity all around the OpenStreetMap community!
To introduce myself, I'm Freya (@Venefilyn) and I created this as I found a lack of a community initiative to increase accessibility coverage within OpenStreetMap and be a safe space for individuals and groups who want to find others like-minded and strive for a safe space in organizing events or other things! 🙏

in reply to DEI Team • • •With 'accessibility', I suspect you mean accessibility for #wheelchair users? Or also for e.g. #blind of #deaf persons?
In either case, there is mapcomplete.org/onwheels which has support for some accessibility tagging. Of course, more tags are always welcome

in reply to MapComplete • • •@MapComplete Definitely! We want to highlight tools such as MapComplete or WheelMap as they serve as great points to improve accessibility around the place. Lots of different kinds of groups need accessibility in one way or another, which is all around you if you know where to look :D
I do not want to rush in with 100 different events or ideas to tackle, I want to start small and build a community with trust and respect, but yes 100% vision-impaired and hearing-impaired is included
