Access Tip of the Month

Hello and welcome! I'm Joanne, the Office of Community & Civic Life's Disability Program Coordinator.

I’d like to introduce to you the Access Tip of the Month. I will post one tip each month to accompany us in our journeys to truly accessible and just spaces and practices.

Please know that this isn’t everything you need to know about access or creating inclusive space; it’s more like an accessibility factoid or conversation starter. (On that note, feel free to reach out and ask questions or start an access and disability justice conversation with me any time!) I can be reached at joanne.johnson@portlandoregon.gov or 503-823-9970.
