"Most of the time, I'm not going to trust what's on Google or what venue staff say when I ask them about how accessible their places are. I'm always going to have questions that make me think twice about going out. Even when I'm looking for accessibility information on their website, I still feel uncertain. Who knows if that information is accurate or up to date? Verify it. Show me that a place is going to be accessible and welcoming before I even leave the house, and I'm going to trust that. I'll trust that every time."
