Our Respecting Rights Map Mission using the Access Now App was a big success!

Thank you to everyone who joined us to explore the neighborhood and check which places are accessible — and which still need work.

#AccessibilityMatters #MapMission #DisabilityJustice #AccessIsJustice
Three Respecting Rights members stand together talking in The underground path in Downtown Toronto, with bright lights and a food counter in the background. A woman in a power wheelchair exits a building through a glass door while another member follows behind her. A woman using a power wheelchair moves along an indoor ramp, holding her phone with the AccessNow app open. A group of seven Respecting Rights members smile together for a photo inside the ARCH Disability Law Centre, in front of a bookshelf and the main office door.
