May 21 marks the 8th annual Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD). As a leader in digital accessibility, the State of Minnesota participates in GAAD every year. Minnesota’s contribution to this year’s celebration was a virtual event, “Stories of Inclusion: State Government Accessibility.” The event featured interviews and speakers from across state government. Here are links to each of the interviews:

• Governor Tim Walz's proclamation for Digital Accessibility Awareness Day in the State of Minnesota (video).
• The Department of Employment and Economic Development’s State Services for the Blind, who recently launch a Radio Talking Book app.
• The Minnesota Department of Health and its work providing critical and accessible information for decision makers and the public on COVID-19.
• Department of Revenue’s Employee Development Services and their accessibility standards for e-learning training design and development.
