For Lesley Davis the Bloomington Council for Community Accessibility is more than volunteer work – it also ties into her own lived experience.  As a wheelchair user she sees every day where Bloomington is accessible and where it is not, and she’s on a mission to make our town user-friendly for all. The CCA’s latest project is a new ordinance requiring TVs in local businesses to have the closed captioning turned on.

The City of Bloomington Council for Community Accessibility will commemorate the 34th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) on Saturday, August 3, from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. The event will take place on the Fernandez Plaza by City Hall (401 N. Morton Street).

Activate! is a partnership between WFHB and the City of Bloomington Volunteer Network, working together to build a strong, healthy and engaged community. You can learn more about volunteer opportunities in the WFHB listening area at bloomingtonvolunteernetwork.org or by emailing [email protected].
