Mike has been a friend and mentor for many years and was instrumental in helping me (along with Debra Rapsis and Charlie Pike) to have a positive impact as part of the wider <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/accessibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>accessibility</span></a> communities efforts. </p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/a11y" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>a11y</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/comrades" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>comrades</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/solidarity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>solidarity</span></a></p>
