Accessibility Statement

The Atlanta Israel Coalition is committed to making atlantaisrael.org usable by people with a wide range of abilities. AIC’s work is to educate, mobilize, and unite the community — and a site the whole community can use is part of that.

Our standard

AIC aims to conform atlantaisrael.org to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA, published by the World Wide Web Consortium. WCAG 2.1 Level AA is the standard widely adopted by United States federal agencies, by European Union member states under the Web Accessibility Directive, and across the broader public-sector and nonprofit community.

Conformance means the site is built to be perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust for people using assistive technologies — including screen readers, keyboard-only navigation, voice control, and screen magnification.

What we do

• Semantic structure. Pages use proper heading hierarchy, landmark regions, and meaningful HTML so assistive technology can navigate a page the way a sighted reader scans it. Every page has a single main heading and a skip link to the main content.
• Text alternatives. Images and non-text content carry alternative text where they convey meaning. Decorative imagery and placeholders are marked so screen readers do not announce them.
• Color and contrast. The AIC palette is chosen and tested to meet WCAG AA contrast ratios for body text and interface elements. Color is never the only way information is conveyed — form errors, active links, and states also carry text or an underline.
• Keyboard navigation. Links, buttons, form fields, and the donation and subscription controls are reachable and operable with a keyboard alone, with a visible focus indicator throughout.
• Readable typography. Headlines are set in Spectral and body text in Public Sans at a comfortable reading size; long-form pages cap line length for legibility, and text resizes in the browser without breaking the layout.
• Predictable interaction. The site uses no auto-playing media and no motion that cannot be reduced; it honors your operating-system “reduce motion” setting.

Known limitations

atlantaisrael.org is a custom build, so its markup, structure, and styling are under AIC’s direct control, and AIC’s pages and templates are built and tested for accessibility. Some brand assets are still being finalized, and a small number of images use a placeholder while a real photograph is prepared; those placeholders are marked so they do not mislead assistive technology.

If you encounter a barrier that is not covered here, please tell us — reader feedback is the most reliable way we find and fix problems.

Third-party platforms

Some AIC activity runs on third-party platforms whose accessibility is governed by the platform operator, not by AIC:

• Newsletter — delivered through an email platform (the AIC newsletter).
• Event registration — handled by a third-party registration service.
• Donations — processed by a hosted, PCI-compliant payment provider.

AIC chooses partners that maintain reasonable accessibility standards, but it cannot guarantee third-party conformance. If a platform blocks you from an AIC program, contact us and we will find another way to get you what you need.

Periodic review

AIC reviews the accessibility of atlantaisrael.org at least annually, and after any significant redesign or platform change. When we find conformance gaps, we prioritize fixes by reader impact and the severity of the barrier.

Feedback and contact

If you encounter an accessibility barrier on atlantaisrael.org, or you would like information in an alternative format, email [email protected].

We aim to acknowledge accessibility feedback within five (5) business days and to provide a substantive response — including, where applicable, an alternative means of accessing the requested content — within a reasonable timeframe.
