Making your content and information accessible is viewed as a nice thing to do. And it is.
But this World Kindness Day, we wanted to remind everyone that access to information is a human right. We shouldn't need to keep asking for it, it's simply how it should be.

John McCrae was a med student @utoronto.ca when his poetry was first published. As a soldier in Ypres, he wrote In Flanders Fields. Due in part to his poem, the poppy was adopted as the Flower of Remembrance for the war dead of Canada and other Commonwealth countries. #RemembranceDay #LestWeForget
