Frequently Asked Questions

What is Yes! Access?

#YesAccess is a 100% volunteer led convenor bringing together disability advocates, educators, innovators and story tellers to amplify disability stories and improve access and inclusion in our workplaces and communities.

Who can use the hashtag?

Anyone—people with disabilities, family members, friends, service providers, employers, educators, and advocates. If you care about access, your voice belongs in the conversation.

Is this a political campaign?

No. Yes! Access is non-partisan and non-lobbying. Our focus is cultural change through storytelling and community collaboration, not legislation or elections.

How do I share my story?

  1. Choose a prompt from the Story Starter Kit.
  2. Record a short video, write a post, or share a photo with a caption.
  3. Add #YesAccess to your post on any public platform (Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, X, Threads, Facebook).

What impact does one story really make?

Culture shifts when stories accumulate. When thousands of people spotlight the same hashtag, trends emerge that journalists, product designers, HR teams, and policymakers can’t ignore. Your single post helps build that critical mass.

Who runs Yes! Access?

We’re a volunteer-powered, nonprofit initiative co-stewarded by Tara Cunningham and Meg O’Connell, with guidance from a diverse group of disabled leaders across the USA.

How are policy changes affecting people with disabilities?

People are already losing access to healthcare, education, and independence. This isn’t abstract. It’s real.

Why does my voice matter?

We’re calling on U.S. Attorney Generals, Representatives, and Senators—the ones who can stop attacks on disability rights or the ones trying to push them through. Either way, they need to hear from us.

How do you protect my privacy?

We only pull content that you post publicly with #YesAccess. If you delete or make a post private, it disappears from our site automatically. For anonymous submissions, we remove all identifying details before publication.

Is this political?

The ADA was signed into law 35 years ago by Republican President George H.W. Bush, with bipartisan support. Disability rights aren’t about politics—they’re about people. Protecting these rights isn’t a partisan issue, it’s a human one. Every single person knows someone with a disability, whether it’s our senior citizens, co-workers, or neighbors. We all want everyone to live a long, happy life in their community.

Why don’t you talk about neurodivergence and only disability?

Our founders are members of both the neurodivergent and disability communities. Under the ADA, we are all considered “disabled,” and we stand for the protection of everyone’s rights. Whether you identify as neurodivergent, have a physical disability, or any other condition, this campaign is about saving our collective rights. If you’re protected under the ADA, we’re here to protect your rights—no matter your diagnosis or disability.
