Clean Air’s Events Accessibility Policies

Clean Air strives to make all of our events as accessible as we can within our ability. Many of our members have been directly harmed by polluters and live with related health conditions, and we ask all participants of our events to be mindful of how we can collectively protect our community health. If there are ways in which you believe we can improve our event accessibility, especially if you have specific, actionable requests or resources to share, please let us know.

  • Unless there are technical limitations, such as a lack of wifi at a venue or a hands-on nature for a training, our events are hybrid.
    • During winter months, when respiratory diseases circulate the most and weather is the most erratic, we switch to online-only events.
  • We provide food and beverages at all of our in-person events.
  • With pre-registration, we offer free childcare, translation, and interpretation services during our in-person events. We need to contract for these services, so please pre-register at least a week prior.
  • We provide and encourage wearing masks at all our in-person events, and seek well ventilated spaces.
  • We know sound quality has been an issue at some of our events – we plan to purchase a better portable PA in the near future. If you are having trouble hearing at our events, we encourage signaling to speakers by doing a “raise the roof” hand sign. Live captioning is also available on Zoom, and for hybrid events we activate this function on the screen where we project our slides.
  • We conduct an accessibility check to see how accessible the space is for people who use mobility devices – because we try to have meetings within communities, some spaces might not yet be fully accessible, but we will note those limitations in the description.
    • Trinity Church at 371 Delaware Ave in downtown Buffalo is where we hold most of our events – there is a lift in the courtyard atrium entrance from the street level, and an elevator to the second floor meeting rooms and banquet hall. Bathrooms at Trinity are not yet fully accessible, but there is space to navigate most wheelchairs.
  • We seek venues that are accessible by bike and public transit in addition to driving, and that have accessible parking, and time our events to end while bus services are still available.
