How many of you have made it to a concert venue only to be surprised by the facility’s lack of accessibility? Well, there’s a grassroots effort to collect and share information about such facilities, thanks to the non-profit organization called Half Access.

Half Access is dedicated to making live music accessible. Their user-generated database provides accessibility info on venues to help prepare disabled folks on what to expect before arriving at a show, and will be used by them to work with venues on improving accessibility in their spaces. You can help by going to their site and joining their newsletter or Facebook page and start contributing with your experiences at venues you’ve been to.
