Our commitment
Sons of Liberty is a nonpartisan, grassroots movement standing for constitutional rights and freedoms, and this website is where people learn about our work, find events, and volunteer. We want everyone to be able to use this site, including people with disabilities and people who use assistive technology such as screen readers, screen magnifiers, voice control, or keyboard-only navigation.
The standard we follow
We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2, Level AA. This is the standard most widely used to measure website accessibility, including under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
We consider this site partially conformant with WCAG 2.2 Level AA. This means we have addressed the guidelines we know of, but some content, mainly from other websites we link to, may not fully conform. If you find a part that doesn’t meet the standard, please tell us.
What we’ve done
- A “Skip to main content” link lets keyboard and screen reader users go straight to the page content.
- Every link, button, and menu can be used with a keyboard alone, and the item you’re on is clearly outlined.
- Headings, landmarks, and labels are marked up so screen readers can understand and navigate the site.
- Text and background colors meet WCAG AA contrast ratios.
- Images that carry meaning have text descriptions, and decorative images and icons are hidden from screen readers.
- Links that open in a new tab or window say so to screen reader users.
- If you’ve turned on “reduce motion” on your device, the site turns off its animations.
- The layout works on phones and when zoomed to 400%, without sideways scrolling.
- The site works in Windows High Contrast and other forced-colors modes.
- Expandable role and event descriptions tell screen readers whether they are open or closed.
- When you filter events by region, screen readers announce how many events are shown, and the selected region is written out in words as well as shown on the map.
- Nationwide election and transfer-of-power dates in the events list are marked with a written “Nationwide” label, not by color alone, and screen readers announce them as nationwide civic dates.
- The QR code and the region map have text descriptions.
- When you copy a link, screen readers announce that it was copied.
- Our recruitment flyer is a tagged PDF, so screen readers can read it.
How we test
We check the site ourselves using automated testing with axe-core in Chrome, at desktop and phone sizes. It has been reviewed by our own team but has not been formally audited by an outside accessibility firm. We review accessibility again whenever we make significant changes to the site.
Known limitations
- Other websites. Our videos, community chat, and shops are on websites run by other companies, including YouTube, Twitch, Discord, Linktree, our social media accounts, and our merchandise and coffee shops. They have their own accessibility policies.
If any of these get in your way, contact us and we’ll help another way.
Getting help another way
If you can’t use part of this site, we’re glad to help directly. For example, we can:
- Send you information from this site in another format, such as plain text or a Word document.
- Help you find an event, sign up to volunteer, or reach us by email if another company’s website gets in your way.
Tell us about a barrier
If you have trouble using any part of this site, or need information in a different format, we want to hear from you. You can reach us here:
- Email sonsoflibertystorefront@gmail.com and put “Website accessibility” in the subject line
It helps if you tell us which page or feature you were using, what went wrong, and what browser or assistive technology you were using, but none of that is required. We’ll reply as soon as we can and work with you on a fix.
