[Live] WEBCAST TODAY – A11yNYC – BillionStrong: A Global Identity and Empowerment Nonprofit

[ISOC_live]

Owing to a scheduling mix up (by me!) this was not streamed live, thus the
recording is being restreamed today. Debra Ruh is a powerful voice for PWDs
worldwide.

*Tuesday October 7 2021* at *2pm EDT* (18:00 UTC) the *Accessibility NYC
Meetup <https://www.meetup.com/A11yNYC/>* (A11yNYC) hosts an online
meetup ‘*Billion
Strong: A Global Identity and Empowerment Nonprofit
<https://www.meetup.com/A11yNYC/events/280213858/>*‘. According to the
W.H.O. there are 1.3B people with disabilities in the world. Many
multinational corporations at the CEO level are partaking in initiatives
such as *The Valuable 500* <https://www.thevaluable500.com/> that focus on
disability inclusion and accessibility. However, it is up to the community
of persons with disabilities to self-organize to drive those and other
empowerment efforts.  Debra Ruh will talk about a new global
non-profit '*Billion
Strong <https://www.billion-strong.org/>*' that aims to collectivise that
effort.

The meetup will be webcast live via a partnership with the *Internet
Society Accessibility SIG <https://a11ysig.org>*.
