Retstore Calibri font so state department documents are accessible by everyone

To: Rep. Trahan, Sen. Warren, Sen. Markey

From: A verified voter in Billerica, MA

December 10

Secretary of State Marco Rubio halted the State Department’s official use of the typeface Calibri, calling the Biden-era move “wasteful,” and ordered the return of Times New Roman as part of a push to stamp out diversity efforts. In 2023, Secretary of State Antony Blinken ordered the typeface change to Calibri to improve accessibility for readers with disabilities, such as low vision and dyslexia, and people who use assistive technologies, such as screen readers. This is just cruel. People with disabilities need Calibri. The government is for all people not just able bodies one. Fix this!
