On this day in 2010, the Twenty-First Century Communications and Video Accessibility Act became a law under President Obama. This legislation was an important step in bridging the technological access gap for differently abled people. President Obama’s commitment to accessibility is an important hallmark of our work at the Obama Presidential Center. The Center will be an innovative community campus that is inclusively designed with input and in collaboration with community stakeholders and experts. Considerations about navigating the physical space, wayfinding, content, staff training, and more are of great importance to our team. Learn more about the Center: https://lnkd.in/guB59fst

Our mission is to inspire, empower, and connect people to change their world.
关于我们
At the Obama Foundation, we are guided by a core belief: that ordinary people working together can change history. Our mission is to inspire those people to take action, empower them to change their world for the better, and connect them so they can achieve more together than they can alone. We were founded by community organizers, so when we seek change, we do it by bringing people together. That approach begins at home, on the South Side of Chicago, where we are building the Obama Presidential Center. The Center represents a historic opportunity for Chicago: a chance to build a world-class museum and public gathering space that celebrates our nation’s first African American President and First Lady, steps away from where he began his career, where she was raised, and where—together—they made their home. But that approach extends to all our work, whether it’s holding leadership training sessions in communities throughout the U.S., bringing local leaders together in countries around the world, working to support the global education of girls, or ensuring young men of color have pathways to opportunity. As President Obama has said, “we cannot solve the challenges of our time unless we solve them together.” So join us.
