Accessibility

We want to enable as many people as possible to take part in our actions.Therefore, we are working to reduce barriers and meet requirements for participation as far as possible.

If you need assistance or support during the action or need more specific information, please contact: smash-barriers@riseup.net. We will try to make participation possible, if needed, by finding an assistance affinity group.

If you or your affinity group wants to offer assistance during the action, also contact: smash-barriers@riseup.net.
