On Thursday, December 11, the U.S. State Department adopted a new official font to be used for all official department documents. The Biden administration adopted the Calibri font. Many advocate that this font is most accessible for persons with low vision. Secretary Marco Rubio instructed that the department return to the use of Time New Roman. Many advocates in the disability community have spoken out. ACB’s low vision affiliate, CCLVI, along with other affiliates, plan to put out a public statement in opposition to this change.

Letter to the Editor by Claire Stanley, published in the Washington Post on December 15, 2025.
For most people in D.C., hailing a ride is a mundane act. You tap a few buttons, wait a few minutes, get in and go. It is an extremely convenient way to get door to door when other options aren’t the right fit. For those of us who are blind or have low vision, that same routine is a source of profound anxiety because of uncertainty that I will be accepted by the driver.
