This document summarizes a presentation on digital accessibility laws in the United States and strategies for enforcement. It discusses that the ADA and other federal and state laws establish digital accessibility as a civil right. It outlines three strategies for enforcement, including filing complaints with government agencies, accessibility lawsuits, and structured negotiations. The results of these efforts have led to expanded digital access for education, employment, movies, voting and other areas. Potential threats to accessibility progress are also addressed.
