Accessibility Statement for SovereignBirdie.us

Your Voice, Your News: Trusted Across Borders

At SovereignBirdie.us, we believe everyone deserves equal access to information. This statement outlines our ongoing efforts to make our North American news blog usable, navigable, and inclusive for all readers, including those with disabilities.

Our Commitment

We strive to comply with:

  • Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 (Level AA).

  • Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards for U.S. users.

  • Accessible Canada Act (ACA) for Canadian users.

Features for Accessibility

1. Navigation & Design

  • Keyboard-Friendly: Navigate our entire site using a keyboard (try the Tab key!).

  • Alt Text: All images include descriptive alt text (e.g., “Protesters holding climate action signs in Toronto”).

  • Contrast: Text and background colors meet WCAG contrast ratios.

2. Adaptable Content

  • Resizable Text: Use browser settings to adjust font sizes.

  • Screen Reader Compatibility: Tested with tools like NVDA and JAWS.

3. Ongoing Improvements

  • We audit our site quarterly using WAVE Web Accessibility Tool.

  • Train our team on inclusive writing practices (e.g., plain language, avoiding jargon).

Areas We’re Improving

We’re not perfect! Here’s what we’re working on:

  • Video Content: Adding closed captions to all future video posts.

  • Forms: Simplifying newsletter sign-up fields for screen readers.

Your Feedback Matters

Found a barrier? Tell us!

We aim to respond within 3 business days.

Third-Party Content

Some external links (e.g., U.S. Department of Justice ADA Guidelines or Government of Canada Accessibility) may have their own accessibility policies. We can’t control these but encourage you to report issues to us.

Compliance & Enforcement

While we aim for full compliance, if you encounter unresolved accessibility issues:
