Accessibility

Our Accessibility Standards
People Over Platforms aims to follow the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA. These guidelines outline how websites can be made more usable for people with disabilities, including those who use screen readers, assistive devices, or alternative navigation methods.

We also follow best practices recommended by trusted accessibility organizations and by the platforms we use to operate our website.

​

Features That Support Accessibility
Some considerations taken when designing and maintaining our website include:

• Logical structure with clear navigation

• High contrast text and accessible color choices aligned with our brand palette

• Alt text for images, graphics, and icons

• Forms with clear labels and instructions

• Text that can be resized without breaking layout

• Compatibility with screen readers and assistive devices

• Pages that avoid excessive bandwidth use where possible

• Links that clearly indicate their purpose

• Content that avoids unnecessary animations or moving elements

We regularly review our layout, headings, and link structure to maintain clarity and ease of use.

​

Third Party Tools and Services
Our website may include content or services provided by third parties, such as:

• Payment processors

• Petition platforms

• Merch and fulfillment partners

• Embedded media or forms

• Linked resources from government or legal websites

​

While we do not control the accessibility features of these services, we choose providers that prioritize accessibility and work to address issues when they arise. If you experience difficulty with any external content, we encourage you to inform us.

​

Alternative Formats
If you require any of our material in an alternative format, such as:

• A large print version

• Plain text

• A simplified version

• A PDF or accessible document

We will make reasonable efforts to provide it within a timely manner. Contact us with your request and the specific content you need.

​

Browser and Device Compatibility
Our website is designed to work on modern browsers including:

• Google Chrome

• Mozilla Firefox

• Microsoft Edge

• Safari

• Mobile browsers on iOS and Android

Older browsers may not support all accessibility features. For the best experience, we recommend using the most up to date version of your preferred browser.
