UC Access Now

Starting July 26th, 2020 (the 30th Anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act), UC Access Now and allies started sending emails to the Governor, the UC Board of Regents, and every UC chancellor to read and act on the UC Access Now Demandifesto.

Our Governor mentions his dyslexia when it's convenient for him, but he never bothered answering the hundreds of people who wrote him about the systemic ableism within UC.

""Gov. Gavin Newsom recently sent burner phones to major California business leaders with his number preprogrammed — paid for by his nonprofit, allowing him to communicate with executives without having to disclose the content publicly.""

Ah. That's why.
