WisCon Needs In-Person Access Volunteers NOW

[jesse_the_k]

WisCon will happen in-person and online during U.S. Memorial Day Weekend, May 27-30, 2022 in Madison, Wisconsin

I'm proud of how WisCon helped push/guide other SF cons into making fandom more accessible. I was sad to read this in a WisCon mailing:

We need to let you all know that we are having a volunteer emergency in terms of pre-con volunteer positions. We're still missing some significant roles with only eight weeks left until the con.

We're at the point now where if we don't get volunteers ASAP, we'll have to make cuts to what WisCon can offer in terms of accessibility, food, and events.

Access Lead (1-2 people, attending in person)

major tasks include

• Coordinate our efforts on Signage, Blue Tape, ASL/CART
• Set up Transport Plan to/from Thursday night reception at Madison Public Library (Central Branch)
• Ensure the Quiet Place & Introvert Corner have space & supplies
• Ensure Restroom basket supplies are ordered/purchased before con & restocked throughout the con
• Organize and staff the Access table at the Gathering

We've documented why and what and how we do, and volunteering is a great way to turn theory into practice!
