The rise of right-wing power in the U.S. is the culmination of a 50 year plan to seize the reins of government power in the U.S. It has succeeded in the Supreme Court and, who knows, could take the Presidency and both House and Senate at Tuesday's election. As the plan becomes actualized, the Heritage Foundation has gifted us with the next step – a plan for a radical restructuring of our legal and regulatory bodies written in a document called Project 2025. Unless you are inclined to policy wonky-ness, it's hard to tell how the Project 2025 changes could affect people with disabilities. Fortunately for us, our guest for this program has the knowledge and experience to translate these bureaucratic maneuvers into the devilish details that are set to make our lives much more difficult. Claudia Center is the Legal Director of Disability Rights Education and Defense Fund (DREDF). She litigates cases that increase civil rights and civil liberties for persons with disabilities, and represents the disability community in legislative, policy, amicus, and appellate work. Claudia Center Project 2025 lays out drastic cuts to Medi-Caid (MediCal), the end of equity in K-12 schooling for disabled kids, less eligible injuries for Veteran services, and so much more. Halloween will be over by the time this program airs but it's not too late to be very scared. Want to know more? Our community members are working to make it easy for you: 1. Claudia Center's analysis with page numbers in the Project 2025 document.so you can read what it says yourself. 2. Instragram post by DREDF. 3. Lainey Feingold's great hub with all the Project 2025 content from a disability perspective. Produced and hosted by Adrienne Lauby. Audio Editing by Adrienne Lauby and Denny Daughters. Production assistance by Tina Pinedo. The post Devilish Details for Disabled People: Project 2025 – Pushing Limits – November 1, 2024 appeared first on KPFA.

The American Bar Association published Lainey's book, 'Structured Negotiation: A Winning Alternative to Lawsuits' in 2016.

You don’t mess with Lainey Feingold. That’s probably why, after a 25 year career in accessibility and 75 successful, precedent-setting agreements with behemoth companies, Lainey has only had to sue someone once. (Can you guess who??). Based out of a small spare bedroom law practice in Berkeley, CA, Lainey has brought the corporate world to the table, over and over, to commit to accessibility in a process she calls the “structured negotiation.” Rather than the shark stereotype that most lawyers have to deal with and sometimes even ascribe to, Lainey prefers to think of herself using another metaphor: a dolphin. Have your doubts? It worked for Bank of America, every team in Major League Baseball, and many, many more. In this episode Lainey talks about her career as a non-litigious attorney, her successes in public speaking, and what’s really up with the CSUN AT conference.

今回はAccSell瓦版で、プレゼンテーション資料のアクセシビリティー、iOS 12.2で加わったaccessibility event、アメリカのアクセシビリティー関連の訴訟について話しています。 カバー画像:今回とりあげたサイトのキャプチャーだよ オープニング・トーク 今回のizuizuからのお題は「新幹線での忘れ物」です。 AccSell瓦版 最近AccSellの3人が気になったアクセシビリティーに関連する話題について話す「AccSell瓦版」、以下の話題を取り上げています。 パワポじゃなくても参考になりすぎる PowerPoint プレゼンテーションのアクセシビリティを向上させるためのベスト プラクティス (izuizu) スライド資料を作るときのポイントがまとめられていて、パワポの機能でいろいろ解決できるのを改めて知ったので紹介しました。 Appleよ、なぜ今さらこんな機能を? iOS 12.2で追加された「アクセシビリティー・イベント」が物議 (中根) "Apple’s new feature a step towards digital apartheid"という、iOS 12.2で追加された「アクセシビリティー・イベント」について書かれた記事を取り上げて、この機能に対する懸念などを話しています。 なお、収録後にこの機能についてAppleが公開している情報を発見しました。合わせてご覧ください。 アメリカの皆さん、実際のところ、どうなってますのん? 2019 CSUNATC DIGITAL ACCESSIBILITY LEGAL UPDATE (植木) 近年、アメリカで激増中のウェブサイトに対する提訴件数について、デジタル分野のアクセシビリティ問題を扱う弁護士Lainey Feingoldさんの「CSUNカンファレンス」でのセッションをフォローするエントリーを紹介しながら話しています。 アメリカの人たちの話を聞いていると、障害当事者が権利を主張しはじめた一方で、金銭だけを目的にした"悪質な"弁護士が絡んだ提訴も少なくないようで、当面この増加傾向は続きそうな状況です。 中根が言及していた書籍はこちら: 収録後記 ご紹介したように、ずっとよく分からずにいた "structured negotiation" の実体が分かって僕は大変すっきりした気分です。日本で同じ事をやろうと思ってもなかなか大変かも知れないという気がする一方、日本で訴訟を起こしてさらに勝訴することはもっと大変でしょうから、実質的な結果を得る方法として充分に参考にできるのではないかという気もしています。まずはちゃんと本を読んで勉強しようと思います。 (中根 雅文) 3月の「CSUNカンファレンス」、そして4月の「アクセシビリティキャンプ東京 2019」と、立て続けにアメリカの現地の声を聴くことができました。法整備が進んでいるアメリカ、法整備が進んでいない日本、それぞれの前提は異なるものの共通項があったり、やはり日本が後れをとっている側面があったりしますが、今後も海外諸国の動向はウォッチし続けていきたいと思います。 (植木 真) ポッドキャストでも話をしましたが、スライド資料はKeynoteで作ってますが、そろそろ別のツールをいろいろ試してみようと思っています!!おすすめスライドツールがあったらぜひ教えてくださいー。 (山本 和泉)
