Vision and Values

Vision

We envision a world where the voices and experiences of historically excluded communities are amplified, respected, and embedded into the core of institutional practices. Through a multidimensional approach, we aim to shape thought leadership, elevate best practices, and drive meaningful change to operationalize and institutionalize accessibility and language justice across all sectors.

Mission

We develop clear, effective strategies and frameworks to advance accessibility and language justice at the organizational, local, and national levels. Through community-centered partnerships, cross-sector collaboration, training, strategic planning, and advocacy, we work alongside communities—especially people with disabilities and speakers of languages other than English—to build lasting, inclusive systems.

Values

Accessibility and Language Justice are Central to Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

All of our identities intersect. To make systemic change, we cannot look at any of these elements without the other. We engage and reflect notions of representation, access, belonging, and capacity in our services as well as our business practices.

 

Systems Change and Design Justice 

Design is the process. Accessibility and Language Justice are how we center people most directly impacted by the design. At Sway B Access, we explore ways to design processes and systems that listen to and serve constituencies across varied experiences.

​

People and Community

The core of our work is rooted in building structures of accessibility and justice, led by individual people and communities that have been structurally placed into spaces of marginalization. We design solutions that root in the experiences, priorities, needs, and strengths of respective language and disability communities.

 

Accountability

It is critical that we never lose sight of our mission and that we keep ourselves aligned with the reasons why we are doing the work we do. Accountability extends beyond communicating insights and findings back to the communities we surveyed. It ensures that the individuals we are designing for are direct actors and agents of the change we are seeking to make. It is identifying concrete opportunities to build collectively and collaboratively and following through.

Our team at Sway B Access is committed to providing a digital experience that is accessible to all visitors, and to ensure a delightful experience for all persons with disabilities.
