Accessibility Statement

We Make the Future is committed to making our resources accessible for people with disabilities. Since most of our work is virtual, we apply Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 to our website, slides, facilitation, and logistics communication virtually and in-person. Since we include content from other organizations, some research results and case studies do not meet these guidelines.

Events

The pace of our live events may not work for all attendees, so we share important content with attendees afterward. For those who cannot attend live events, we share our open-source resources at wemakethefuture.us/resources.

For on-site events, we work with partners to design accessible experiences and communicate technical prerequisites before people arrive in-person. For virtual events, we have the following technological prerequisites. 

For our public briefings and informational meetings, participants need the following technology.

  • Zoom updated with the most recent slow track version. 

  • High-speed internet connection

  • A computer, tablet, or cell phone with working speakers and microphone

For interactive workshops and meetings, participants need the following technology. 

  • Zoom updated with the most recent slow track version. 

  • High-speed internet connection

  • A computer (not a tablet or cell phone) with working speakers, microphone, keyboard, and mouse

  • Ability to access google document, google slides, or miro


Language

Our events are in spoken English, with closed-captioning available, unless otherwise noted. 

Specific messaging guidance rarely directly translates and currently we have not produced guidance in languages other than English. Some of our partners have produced messaging guidance in other languages. You can find some on our resources section of our website. Please contact Matthew, Partnerships & Practice Manager, at info@wemakethefuture.us to request links to additional resources.

Feedback

We recognize that accessibility is an ongoing journey connected to racial justice, and as part of our commitment, we will continue to assess and improve our resources, guided by annual evaluations and feedback from our community.

We welcome your feedback on accessibility at info@wemakethefuture.us, and try to respond within 10 business days.
