Of course, you'll procrastinate! You're journalists. Pretty sure it's a skill taught in J-school. But, I'm asking you to get it done. The survey closes whether or not you take it, and I'd really like you to take it. It'll make my old editor heart happy. And don't I deserve to be happy? Just once?

Not a journalism professional? You can still help. If you know or love a journalism professional, get this survey to them and ask them to take it. It's anonymous and takes only a few minutes. Only requirement is living and working in the U.S.

The survey is meant to identify both how much journalists know and what journalists don’t know so we can create programming. Fill it out below! accessiblejournalism.surveymars.com/q/y2hGhFumV

Hi fellow journalists! @accessiblejournalism.org is about a third of the way through it's survey of U.S. journalists. And what I'm realizing is many of you haven't taken the survey! If you haven't taken the survey, now is the time! If you are a journalist living and working in the U.S., take it.

September is Spinal Cord Injury Awareness Month. People with spinal cord injuries are active members of our communities. Yet physical, social, and attitudinal barriers can still limit access and participation. Awareness and accessibility means looking beyond the injury.

This is exactly why I'm always saying don't donate huge chunks of money (though, hey, if you have $1 million lying around, who am I to say no). I encourage those $5 monthly donations. They add up! If 20 people donate $5 monthly, that's $100 a month and $1,200 a year!

It’s Black Philanthropy Month. OAJ is proud to be an organization led by strong Black women, including our COO and co-executive leader E. Simone Jenerson and our founding board director Ola Ojewumi. Want to learn more about our team? accessiblejournalism.org/team/

I could not even imagine where OAJ would be without these two women. Ola's been here from Day 1 with her knowledge of philanthropy and nonprofits at OAJ (back then, EAPM). And Simone? When she came on to co-lead? I found my perfect match. She's the biz to my journo, but we both speak accessibility.
