Announcing the first WordPress Accessibility Day!
The first ever WordPress Accessibility Day was just announced this week:
Starting at 18:00 UTC on October 2nd, 2020, the WordPress Accessibility Team will sponsor a 24-hour online event focused on WordPress and Accessibility. If you want to learn about the future of accessibility in WordPress, join us for 24 hours of mind-expanding online learning!

A big round of applause to all the folks who’ve been working hard on planning and putting together this event. Please spread the word!
Review Gutenberg PR

We agreed that this is a welcoming change but expressed concerns on how a change like this could be communicated to end-users.
