New Videos: Perspectives on Web Accessibility -- Essential for Some, Useful for All

The W3C Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) is excited to announce the first version of *Web Accessibility Perspectives* that explores the impact of accessibility for people with disabilities and the benefits for everyone:
      https://www.w3.org/WAI/perspectives/

This resource introduces 10 web accessibility topics with:
      * videos
      * brief descriptions
      * links to learn more

The videos:
      * relate the benefits of accessibility to everyone in different situations
      * encourage viewers to learn more about web accessibility

We hope that this resource will be particularly useful for Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD) and beyond.
