I just published a new piece: “Why Can’t Everything Be Accessible?”
Accessibility isn’t complicated—it’s ignored. We’ve failed to teach, enforce, and value inclusion in tech.
Developers, educators, governments, and companies all have a role to play.
Read and share if you believe accessibility should be for everyone:

Why Can’t Everything Be Accessible?

Every day, millions of people are left behind by technology that was never built with them in mind.

🌍 Accessibility matters for everyone.

Whether permanent or temporary, disability can affect us all at some point in our lives. That’s why accessibility isn’t a bonus feature: it’s a necessity.

At Jami, we’re committed to making private communication truly inclusive. From screen reader support to keyboard navigation, here’s where we stand and where we’re going: jami.net/how-accessible-is-jam…

How accessible is Jami ?

We can all be faced with some form of disability, whether permanent or temporary, at different times in our lives. That's why accessibility must be a constant concern at every stage of development.

Honored. Inspired. Driven.

Last week at #CSUN2025, we had the incredible opportunity to connect, learn, and grow alongside some of the most innovative minds in accessibility and assistive technology. As a fully remote team, gathering in person is always meaningful, but being part of conversations that shape the future of our technology makes it even more special.

We’re grateful for the chance to hear from industry leaders, learn from fellow innovators, and connect with Explorers (both new and those who have been here from the start) who shape the work we do every day. Having a seat at this table is an honor, and we’re more committed than ever to making Aira the best it can be.

Thank you, Center on Disabilities at CSUN, for another unforgettable year!

A woman with a white cane interacts with two Aira team members at the booth. One holds a small device while the other shows something on a smartphone. The table is covered with flyers, tech accessories, and a laptop. A black Aira ASL shirt is draped over a chair.
Aira team members set up a booth at CSUN 2025, unpacking boxes and organizing materials. A black banner behind them displays the Aira logo and the phrase “ACCESS IS A HUMAN RIGHT.” The booth is surrounded by red and gray curtains.
Five people sit around a wooden table in a lounge area, engaged in conversation. Two wear black “Access” shirts, while others wear business attire. A reflective silver divider and dark gray cushioned walls are in the background.
