Dear WebAIM list folks,

Since many people are on both the WebAIM list and WAI lists, we don't usually cross-post messages from the WAI Interest Group lists (<https://www.w3.org/WAI/IG/#mailinglist>) here. However, it's been a while and we have some updates from W3C Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) that we don't want you to miss.

We provided an update for United Nations (UN) International Day of Persons with Disabilities (IDPD) in a blog post at:
https://www.w3.org/blog/2023/digital-accessibility-updates-on-international-day-of-persons-with-disabilities-idpd-2024/
It includes:
* link to annotated list of WAI resources
* links to accessibility resources in over 35 languages
* info on new W3C staff coverage of accessibility

Here are some posts you can use to share that info:
* linkedin W3C : https://www.linkedin.com/posts/w3c_digital-accessibility-updates-on-international-activity-7136025055183974400-xtyP/
