Re: [sudo-discuss] [omni-building] [omni-discuss] Accessibility Liaison?

The consistent reaction I've gotten from the community at large is "We don't actually care about people with chemical sensitivities and would actively block any attempts to make the space more accessible to those with respiratory problems who are 'asking too much.'" So, it might be best to be honest with her, rather than pretend like the Omni is actually going to actively work to be accessible. Sorry if this sounds pessimistic, but eh.

She was also concerned with the sound system at today's event as there were some issues w/it that made it difficult for people to hear. She asked us to not use any materials that will inhibit those with chemical sensitivities from accessing the space and to create communication around our accessibility and needs. She asked to see our plan for how we will do this. We don't have this scoped out currently and I'm wondering if someone would be willing to take on the task of researching this issue and making recommendations to the building Working Group as well as drawing up a basic outline for providing greater accessibility. Can someone volunteer for this? xo N _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss(a)lists.omnicommons.org <mailto:discuss@lists.omnicommons.org> https://omnicommons.org/lists/listinfo/discuss _______________________________________________ building mailing list building(a)lists.omnicommons.org https://omnicommons.org/lists/listinfo/building
